Why is this a Barren?Your planet has an unusual composition that doesn't fit standard classifications, or lacks the elements needed for complex geological processes.
Barren worlds can form from uncommon element combinations or may be remnants of larger bodies that lost their atmospheres and volatile materials.
Classification Criteria:

Contributing Factors
water50
Limited water content
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only
Organic Chemistry100
All CHNOPS elements present - building blocks of life (tidal pools cycle wet and dry - a boost for prebiotic chemistry)
atmosphere28
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable (partially stripped by slow rotation)
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.
