#Exoplanet Habitability Analysis

This project explores the habitability of exoplanets using stellar flux and equilibrium temperature models.

##Overview

With the discovery of thousands of exoplanets, identifying potentially habitable worlds has become a key area of research. This project applies simplified physics-based models to estimate planetary temperatures and evaluate habitability.

##Methodology

• Stellar flux calculated relative to Earth
• Equilibrium temperature estimated using radiative balance
• Habitability range: 273 K – 373 K

##Dataset

The dataset includes 20 confirmed exoplanets with:

• Orbital distance (AU)
• Stellar flux (relative to Earth)
• Estimated equilibrium temperature

##Results

Two main relationships were analyzed:

1. Flux vs Temperature → strong positive correlation
2. Distance vs Temperature → inverse-square trend

##Key Findings

• Planets with flux between 0.7 and 1.2 are most likely habitable
• Temperature strongly depends on stellar radiation
• Habitability exists on a spectrum, not a fixed category
