OBY-83 is the fourth and smallest planet of JBC-9052. It is an intensely cold, blue-white world covered in frozen oceans and enormous snow-covered mountains. It rotates every 7 hours, orbits its star every 17 years, and has a cold, inactive core.
Why is this a Ice World?Your planet orbits at 73.00 AU from its star, resulting in frigid temperatures of 83K.
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: 73.00 AU (>3 AU) or Temperature <200K✓ Temperature: 83K✓ Water content: 36.7% for ice formation
Habitability ScoreUninhabitable

Contributing Factors
water20
Good water content - frozen solid, no liquid phase at this temperature
geology60
Some geological activity provides slow nutrient cycling
rotation25
Very fast rotation - perpetual hurricane-force winds, extreme Coriolis effects, hazardous for complex life
Organic Chemistry100
All CHNOPS elements present - building blocks of life
atmosphere70
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable
temperature10
Frozen world - minimal potential for complex life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection
