Why is this a Desert World?Your planet is a hot (384K), bone-dry silicate rock that kept its atmosphere - with no water cycle to wash the air, wind lofts a permanent dust veil over endless dune seas.
Desert worlds are the Tatooine/Arrakis archetype: enough rock to build a solid surface, enough air to carry dust, and too little hydrogen for oceans or rain. Heat bakes out any trace moisture, so nothing interrupts the wind's work - dune seas, wind-carved rock, scorching days.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Hydrogen: 1.6% (<5% - bone dry, no water cycle)✓ Temperature: 384K (300-500K hot band)✓ Silicon + Iron + Magnesium: 47.0% (>=30% - a real rocky surface)✓ Holds an atmosphere to carry the dust haze

Contributing Factors
water19
Very dry - minimal water - likely as steam
geology40
Extreme volcanic activity may be hazardous
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
Organic Chemistry80
Core organic elements (CHNO) present
atmosphere70
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable
temperature40
Extreme temperature - very difficult for life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection — but the remnant's shock fronts flood this orbit with cosmic rays
