Abstract

This study investigates how different types of stars influence the potential habitability of their orbiting planets. It analyses the varying stellar properties, such as luminosity, temperature and radiation output, and their effects on planetary environments within the habitable zone. The research emphasises the role of stellar classification in determining whether conditions suitable for life can exist. The classification includes M-dwarfs, K-type, and G-type stars. By comparing the habitability prospects of selected exoplanets around diverse star types, the study sheds light on the importance of stellar behavior and stability. By using statistical techniques, the findings discovered contribute to our broader understanding of where life might most likely exist beyond Earth. Additionally, it provides insights into how shifts in stellar activity or classification could alter planetary habitability.
