Ice Giant
✦ SoliculusMagnetic FieldModerate Activity
Why is this a Ice Giant?Your planet has moderate mass (7.7x Earth) with significant water, carbon, and nitrogen content, characteristic of ice giants.
Ice giants like Uranus and Neptune have icy interiors with thick atmospheres of hydrogen and helium, but not enough to be classified as gas giants.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Mass: 7.7x Earth (5-20x range)✓ Water/Carbon/Nitrogen rich composition
Habitability ScoreUninhabitable
Contributing Factors
water60
Water present but mostly frozen
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only
Organic Chemistry80
Core organic elements (CHNO) present
atmosphere12
Hydrogen-rich atmosphere typical of gas giants (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature0
Near absolute zero - all molecular activity ceases, impossible for life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection

MoonsLife may exist on a moon
Moon 1rings0.010% - 1.6 radii
Inside the Roche limit (1.92 planet radii): torn apart into a ring system.
Moon 2recedingOcean world - life0.052% - 5.0 radii
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Tidal heat sustains a subsurface ocean over a rock seafloor: a strong candidate for life (Europa-like, 51/100).
