Why is this a Desert World?Your planet is a hot (302K), bone-dry silicate rock that kept its atmosphere - with no water cycle to wash the air, wind lofts a permanent dust veil over endless dune seas.
Desert worlds are the Tatooine/Arrakis archetype: enough rock to build a solid surface, enough air to carry dust, and too little hydrogen for oceans or rain. Heat bakes out any trace moisture, so nothing interrupts the wind's work - dune seas, wind-carved rock, scorching days.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Hydrogen: 0.0% (<5% - bone dry, no water cycle)✓ Temperature: 302K (300-500K hot band)✓ Silicon + Iron + Magnesium: 30.0% (>=30% - a real rocky surface)✓ Holds an atmosphere to carry the dust haze
