Una zona de habitabilidad galáctica (ZHG) se define como aquella región de una galaxia en la que se dan las condiciones necesarias para que en primer término pueda surgir la vida y, posteriormente, esta logre prosperar durante periodos de tiempo del orden de miles de millones de años. En cierta forma es una generalización del concepto de zona de habitabilidad circunestelar (ZHC), que se define como aquella región en torno a una estrella en la que la temperatura de un planeta permite la existencia de agua líquida en su superficie. 1, record 1, Spanish, - zona%20de%20habitabilidad%20circunestelar
