Answer:
Typically, the more massive the planet, the more massive the atmosphere it can acquire and maintain. This is important because the mass of a planet's atmosphere will directly influence its climate. ... Such a planet would most likely be habitable at distances that would result in smaller planets icing over.

Yes, it matters how massive the planet is because the massive of planet influences the climate, greenhouse effect, and gravity of the planet.
Explanation:
- The more massive the planet, the more massive the atmosphere it can acquire and maintain.
- Massive planet, with a more massive atmosphere, will likely have a stronger greenhouse effect. Such a planet would most likely be habitable at distances that would result in smaller planets icing over.
- A planet's size and mass determine its gravitational pull. A planet's mass and size determine how strong its gravitational pull is.
- If a planet is too small, it won't have enough gravity, and the atmosphere will be stripped away, and the water will either be stripped away with it, or frozen on the surface. That means the possibilities for life are dark.
