It also must not be so massive that it retains hydrogen and becomes a “gas giant”. It is an advantage for it to have a massive planet well outside its orbit‚ like Jupiter to divert potential devastating asteroids away or to make them destroy themselves (as in the asteroid belt). It must have an atmosphere like that on Earth‚ that is dominated by nitrogen and oxygen
