Why is this a Earth Like?Your planet has a balanced composition with all CHNOPS elements, proper mass (1.4x Earth), and sits in the habitable zone at 0.22 AU.
Earth-like planets have the perfect combination of composition, temperature, mass, and magnetic field to potentially support complex life as we know it.
Classification Criteria:
✓ All CHNOPS elements present (C, H, N, O, P, S)✓ Mass: 1.4x Earth (0.5-2.0x range)✓ Temperature: 265K (250-320K range)✓ Magnetic field present✓ Distance: 0.22 AU (habitable zone)

Contributing Factors
water47
Limited water content - mostly frozen
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
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)
atmosphere40
Nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere - breathable and protective (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature75
Challenging but potentially habitable temperature (large moon stabilizes the axial tilt - steady seasons)
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection (a large close moon may help stir the core dynamo (speculative))

Surface Characteristics
Rocky surface with continents, oceans, and active plate tectonics. Diverse biomes if life present.
Inside the Roche limit (2.80 planet radii): torn apart into a ring system.
Moon 2receding2.0% - 22.0 radii
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
