Carbon World Magnetic Field Moderate Activity
Why is this a Carbon World? Your planet's carbon (52.3%) outweighs its oxygen (0.0%), so the mineralogy flips from silicate rock to carbide - a graphite crust over a diamond mantle. Carbon worlds form in carbon-rich disks where there isn't enough oxygen to bind it all into silicates. Instead carbon condenses directly into graphite, carbides, and - under pressure at depth - diamond. They form water-poor, so no life takes hold.
✓ Carbon: 52.3% (>=20% required) ✓ Carbon exceeds Oxygen: 52.3% > 0.0% ✓ Mass: 1.8x Earth (<=8x hycean ceiling)
Habitability Score Uninhabitable
Contributing Factors water 0
No water - the recipe has no hydrogen and oxygen to form it geology 90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle rotation 10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only Organic Chemistry 50
Carbon and hydrogen present - organic chemistry possible atmosphere 16
Atmosphere present but composition not ideal for life (partially stripped by slow rotation) temperature 75

Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
