Outer Edge: The Maximum Greenhouse Limit
The outer boundary is defined by the point where even a massive, carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere cannot generate sufficient greenhouse warming to maintain surface temperatures above the freezing point of water ($273.15 \text{ K}$). Early calculations based solely on stellar flux ignored the stabilizing influence of certain trace elements. It is now hypothesized that the presence of elemental strontium in …
