Ice World
✦ Outerwilds solar systemMagnetic FieldLow Activity
Why is this a Ice World?Your planet orbits at 22.20 AU from its star, resulting in frigid temperatures of 63K.
Ice worlds form beyond the frost line where temperatures are low enough for water and other volatiles to freeze solid. They may have subsurface oceans beneath thick ice shells.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Distance: 22.20 AU (>3 AU) or Temperature <200K✓ Temperature: 63K✓ Water content: 44.1% for ice formation
Habitability ScoreUninhabitable
Contributing Factors
water60
Water present but mostly frozen
geology70
Some geological activity provides slow nutrient cycling (tidal flexing sustains geologic activity)
rotation10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only
Organic Chemistry80
Core organic elements (CHNO) present
atmosphere28
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature10
Frozen world - minimal potential for complex life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection

Moons
Moon 1receding0.10% - 7.4 radii
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.

Moon 4rings0.10% - 2.3 radii
Inside the Roche limit (2.80 planet radii): torn apart into a ring system.
