Destroyed — no longer habitableMagnetic FieldExtreme Activity
Why is this a Lava World?A moon inside the synchronous orbit spiraled in and struck the planet. The impact remelted the surface into a global magma ocean.
Tidal decay drags close-in moons down over millions of years. A large enough impactor liquefies the crust, strips atmosphere, and resets the surface - whatever the orbit's temperature would otherwise allow.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Moon inside the synchronous orbit (tidal decay)✓ Impactor massive enough to remelt the crust- Orbit itself was fine: 82.00 AU, 1400K equilibrium
