Ice Giant

Magnetic FieldExtreme Activity
Why is this a Ice Giant?Your planet has moderate mass (19.0x Earth) with significant water, carbon, and nitrogen content, characteristic of ice giants.
Ice giants like Uranus and Neptune have icy interiors with thick atmospheres of hydrogen and helium, but not enough to be classified as gas giants.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Mass: 19.0x Earth (5-20x range)✓ Water/Carbon/Nitrogen rich composition
Habitability ScoreMarginal
40
Contributing Factors
water15
No solid surface — any water is locked in a supercritical mantle and hot ice, not oceans
geology40
Extreme volcanic activity may be hazardous
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
Organic Chemistry20
Limited organic chemistry potential
atmosphere30
Hydrogen-rich atmosphere typical of gas giants
temperature100
Optimal temperature range for liquid water and life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection

Surface views from three worlds: rocky ground under a ringed sky, a cloud deck, and a lit desert

New: Stand on Your World 🏔️

Every planet you build can now be seen from the ground. The terrain, the color of the sky, the weather and what hangs overhead are all read from the same numbers that shape the globe — so a thin-aired world gives you sunlit rock under a near-black sky crowded with stars, a runaway greenhouse seals you under an unbroken sulfur lid, and a gas giant leaves you in the cloud tops with nothing solid beneath you at all. If one of your moons wandered inside the Roche limit, what is left of it arcs overhead as rings.
