Earth only in CHZ due its Greenhouse gases?
My understanding is that Earth itself is only in the CHZ due to its Greenhouse gases (although this may well be mistaken, and/or depend on who is defining the CHZ, etc). I think I read that explicitly stated (without my qualifiers about who is defining CHZ, etc) many years ago somewhere in Carl Sagan's book Broca's Brain. Arguably this is implicit in our article, but it does not seem to be clearly or explicitly stated with the backing of Reliable Sources. I think our article would be improved if this were done (with suitably-worded qualifiers if needed), and I may (or may not, per WP:NOTCOMPULSORY and WP:BNO) eventually try to do so myself, tho I suspect it will be done (if it ever does get done) quicker and better by more interested and competent editors than me.

Meteorite
Is one coming, a large one?
Has one been recently?
I am thinking about the one in Arizona, 60+ years ago?
Thank you

Tidal lock radius
There is a diagram on p. 124 of the following paper that shows the tidal lock radius for ZAMS star:
- Kasting, James F.; et al. (January 1993), "Habitable Zones around Main Sequence Stars" (PDF), Icarus, 101 (1): 108–128, Bibcode:1993Icar..101..108K, doi:10.1006/icar.1993.1010, retrieved 2022-03-25.
If it could be converted to a SVG diagram, it could be useful for this article and the one on tidal locking. Praemonitus (talk) 20:58, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
