Magnetic Field Moderate Activity
Why is this a Ice Giant? Your planet has moderate mass (17.0x 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.
✓ Mass: 17.0x Earth (5-20x range) ✓ Water/Carbon/Nitrogen rich composition
Habitability Score Extremely Harsh
Contributing Factors water 15
No solid surface — any water is locked in a supercritical mantle and hot ice, not oceans geology 90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle rotation 100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution Organic Chemistry 84
Core organic elements (CHNO) present (tidal pools cycle wet and dry - a boost for prebiotic chemistry) atmosphere 30
Hydrogen-rich atmosphere typical of gas giants temperature 20
Very cold - water frozen, challenging for life magnetic Field 100

Moon 1 stable 0.011% - 13.6 radii
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Moon 2 merged 0.0045% - 15.1 radii
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
Moon 3 stable 0.00010% - 29.0 radii
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
