Why is this a Carbon World?Your planet's carbon (20.0%) outweighs its oxygen (8.0%), so the mineralogy flips from silicate rock to carbide - a graphite crust over a diamond mantle.
Carbon worlds form in carbon-rich disks where there isn't enough oxygen to bind it all into silicates. Instead carbon condenses directly into graphite, carbides, and - under pressure at depth - diamond. They form water-poor, so no life takes hold.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Carbon: 20.0% (>=20% required)✓ Carbon exceeds Oxygen: 20.0% > 8.0%✓ Mass: 2.0x Earth (<=8x hycean ceiling)

Contributing Factors
water50
Limited water content
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
Organic Chemistry100
All CHNOPS elements present - building blocks of life
atmosphere40
Atmosphere present but composition not ideal for life
temperature40
Extreme temperature - very difficult for life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection
