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.
No solid surface — any water is locked in a supercritical mantle and hot ice, not oceans
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
Organic Chemistry80
Core organic elements (CHNO) present
atmosphere30
Hydrogen-rich atmosphere typical of gas giants
temperature0
Near absolute zero - all molecular activity ceases, impossible for life (extreme seasons: at 56° the poles swing between months-long day and night: −6% habitability)
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection
