Eccentric orbits may enhance the habitability of Earth-like exoplanets ...
The detection and characterization of Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars is a crucial goal of exoplanetary research, given their promise for hosting potentially habitable conditions. Key orbital parameters, such as eccentricity, can influence a planet's climate response and, as a conseque...

The detection and characterization of Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars is a crucial goal of exoplanetary research, given their promise for hosting potentially habitable conditions. Key orbital parameters, such as eccentricity, can influence a planet's climate response and, as a consequence, affect its potential habitability. Utilizing the Earth-system model - the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM6), we simulated Earth-like exoplanets with two different orbital parameters: one circular (e = 0) and another highly eccentric (e = 0.4), both with zero obliquity but fixing the annual mean insolation. The highly eccentric case exhibits a 1.9 K warmer surface temperature due to lower surface and cloud albedo and a weaker longwave cloud forcing. Exploring the annual global mean climate difference, we analyzed latitudinal and seasonal variations in hydrological cycle variables, such as sea ice, land snow, and clouds.
