Why is this a Ice World?Your planet orbits at 8.82 AU from its star, resulting in frigid temperatures of 30K.
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: 8.82 AU (>3 AU) or Temperature <200K✓ Temperature: 30K✓ Water content: 34.4% for ice formation

Contributing Factors
water11
Limited water content - frozen solid, no liquid phase at this temperature
geology60
Some geological activity provides slow nutrient cycling
rotation10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only
Organic Chemistry84
Core organic elements (CHNO) present (tidal pools cycle wet and dry - a boost for prebiotic chemistry)
atmosphere28
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature0
Near absolute zero - all molecular activity ceases, impossible for life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection
