The habitable zone is also known as the "Goldilocks zone" because planets orbiting at that "just right" distance from a star are not too hot or too cold to host liquid water. If planets are closer to their star, the water turns to steam; if they're farther, it freezes.
The Goldilocks zone is different around each star. Bigger, hotter stars like the sun, a G-type star, have a wider habitable zone, while smaller red dwarfs confine habitable planets to a narrower range, according to NASA (opens in new tab) .
