Why is this a Ice World?Your planet orbits at 0.29 AU from its star, resulting in frigid temperatures of 248K.
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: 0.29 AU (>3 AU) or Temperature <200K✓ Temperature: 248K✓ Water content: 44.1% for ice formation

Contributing Factors
water79
Abundant water - mostly frozen
geology60
Some geological activity provides slow nutrient cycling
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)
temperature40
Extreme temperature - very difficult for life
magnetic Field30
No magnetic field - vulnerable to solar radiation
