Gas Giant
Magnetic FieldExtreme Activity
Why is this a Gas Giant?Your planet has 86.0% hydrogen and helium, combined with a mass of 10.1x Earth, which exceeds the gas giant threshold.
Gas giants form when massive cores capture enormous atmospheres of light gases. They typically form beyond the 'frost line' where volatiles can condense.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Hydrogen + Helium: 86.0% (>60% required)✓ Mass: 10.1x Earth (>10x required)
Habitability ScoreMarginal
Contributing Factors
water60
Water present but mostly frozen
geology50
Extreme volcanic activity may be hazardous (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
atmosphere12
Hydrogen-rich atmosphere typical of gas giants (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature25
Very cold - water frozen, challenging for life (large moon stabilizes the axial tilt - steady seasons)
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection

MoonsLife may exist on a moon
Moon 1recedingOcean world0.15% - 7.1 radii
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
A thin tidal-warmed subsurface ocean may exist, but conditions are marginal (27/100).
Moon 2recedingOcean world - life0.11% - 10.6 radii
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal heat sustains a subsurface ocean over a rock seafloor: a strong candidate for life (Europa-like, 81/100).
Moon 3receding0.72% - 35.7 radii
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Moon 4merged0.36% - 51.1 radii
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
