The distance between Gliese 581g and its star makes this planet lies right in the middle of the habitable zone in which liquid water could exist. Gliese 581g is three to four times more massive than Earth and it has enough gravity to retain an atmosphere and keep liquid water from evaporating into space (Berardelli‚ Phil 2010). Atmosphere is also a necessity

universal demarcation of these zones is impossible (Brehaut‚ 1982)‚ but a comprehension of the vertical zonation of rocky shores is clearly essential to an understanding of their ecology. The first attempts to differentiate zones were based on tidal classification (Boaden & Seed‚ 1985). It is easy to distinguish (Brehaut‚ 1982) a sub-littoral zone (one which is never completely uncovered by water)‚ a supra-littoral zone (never completely covered)‚ and a littoral zone (where periodic covering and
