Why is this a Salt World?Your planet is rich in sodium (9.8%) and chlorine (24.6%) but starved of hydrogen (0.0%), so instead of a water cycle it precipitates its salt into blinding evaporite flats.
Salt worlds need real halite chemistry - sodium and chlorine together, not just one - plus a dry recipe, since any real water cycle would dissolve the crust as fast as it forms. A warm 250-500K band keeps brines mobile enough to precipitate at the surface: halite plains, brine pans, salt-crusted ridges.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Sodium: 9.8% + Chlorine: 24.6% (min 3% each, 12% combined)✓ Hydrogen: 0.0% (<5% - dry enough for evaporites)✓ Temperature: 305K (250-500K warm band)✓ Silicon + Iron + Magnesium: 32.8% (>=15% - a rocky base to salt-crust over)

Contributing Factors
water0
No water - the recipe has no hydrogen and oxygen to form it
geology60
Some geological activity provides slow nutrient cycling
rotation60
Fast rotation - strong global wind patterns and weather systems, but manageable
