Why is this a Gas Dwarf?Your planet has an unusual composition that doesn't fit standard classifications, or lacks the elements needed for complex geological processes.
Barren worlds can form from uncommon element combinations or may be remnants of larger bodies that lost their atmospheres and volatile materials.
Classification Criteria:
Composition doesn't match standard planet typesMass: 4.4x EarthTemperature: 51K

Contributing Factors
water15
No solid surface — any water is locked in a supercritical mantle and hot ice, not oceans
geology60
Some geological activity provides slow nutrient cycling
rotation60
Fast rotation - strong global wind patterns and weather systems, but manageable
Organic Chemistry80
Core organic elements (CHNO) present
atmosphere30
Hydrogen-rich atmosphere typical of gas giants
temperature10
Frozen world - minimal potential for complex life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection
