“ Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. This is made possible by Earth being an ocean world, the only one in the Solar System sustaining liquid surface water. Almost all of Earth's water is contained in its ocean.”
Your planet has a balanced composition with all CHNOPS elements, proper mass (1.0x Earth), and sits in the habitable zone at 1.00 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: 1.0x Earth (0.5-2.0x range)✓ Temperature: 278K (250-320K range)✓ Magnetic field present✓ Distance: 1.00 AU (habitable zone)

Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation65
Slow rotation - significant day/night temperature variations, but life can adapt
Organic Chemistry100
All CHNOPS elements present - building blocks of life (tidal pools cycle wet and dry - a boost for prebiotic chemistry)
atmosphere100
Nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere - breathable and protective
temperature100
Optimal temperature range for liquid water and life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection

Habitability
✓ Conditions could support lifeThis planet’s modelled conditions could support biological processes: stable temperatures, liquid water and the chemistry life as we know it needs. That makes life possible, not present.
