No life — too cold for liquid waterMagnetic FieldLow Activity
Why is this a Ice World?Your planet orbits at 5.96 AU from its star, resulting in frigid temperatures of 91K.
Ice worlds form beyond the frost line where temperatures are low enough for water and other volatiles to freeze solid. They may have subsurface oceans beneath thick ice shells.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Distance: 5.96 AU (>3 AU) or Temperature <200K✓ Temperature: 91K✓ Water content: 31.0% for ice formation

Contributing Factors
water20
Good water content - frozen solid, no liquid phase at this temperature
geology60
Some geological activity provides slow nutrient cycling
rotation30
Very slow rotation - severe temperature swings between eternal day and night sides
Organic Chemistry54
Carbon and hydrogen present - organic chemistry possible (tidal pools cycle wet and dry - a boost for prebiotic chemistry) — but the ground itself is radioactive, and no magnetic field shields a world from its own crust
atmosphere42
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature10
Frozen world - minimal potential for complex life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection
