Safe and comfortable enough for people to live in; suitable for inhabitation.
From Latin 'habitabilis' (able to be inhabited), derived from 'habitare' (to dwell, live). The suffix '-able' means 'capable of being,' so it literally means 'capable of being lived in.'
Scientists search for habitable exoplanets in the 'Goldilocks Zone'—not too hot, not too cold—and they estimate there could be billions of habitable planets in our galaxy alone, making Earth just one of countless possibilities!
