Ice Giant
✦ KerbolMagnetic FieldModerate Activity
Why is this a Ice Giant?Your planet has moderate mass (14.0x 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.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Mass: 14.0x Earth (5-20x range)✓ Water/Carbon/Nitrogen rich composition
Habitability ScoreUninhabitable
Contributing Factors
water15
No solid surface — any water is locked in a supercritical mantle and hot ice, not oceans
geology100
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle (tidal flexing sustains geologic activity)
rotation10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only
Organic Chemistry80
Core organic elements (CHNO) present
atmosphere12
Hydrogen-rich atmosphere typical of gas giants (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature5
Near absolute zero - all molecular activity ceases, impossible for life (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))

Moon 1recedingOcean world - life0.89% - 13.0 radii
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Tidal heat sustains a subsurface ocean over a rock seafloor: a strong candidate for life (Europa-like, 55/100).
