A study by the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo has provided a quantitative evaluation of habitability to identify the potential habitats in our solar system." SIZE OF THE EARTH: http://www.universetoday.com/26653/size-of-the-earth/ "The size of Earth, like the size of all of the celestial bodies, is measured in a number of parameters including mass, volume, density, surface area, and equatorial/polar/mean diameter." In Search for Life on Alien Planets, Checklist Needed: http://www.space.com/26189-alien-life-requirements-exoplanet-search.html "A checklist for the requirements of life as scientists define it could help ground speculation about the possibilities of alien life on distant worlds, new research suggests." In the Zone: How Scientists Search for Habitable Planets: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/kepler/news/kepler20130717.html: "There is only one planet we know of, so far, that is drenched with life.
