Why is this a Carbon World? Your planet's carbon (22.2%) outweighs its oxygen (11.1%), so the mineralogy flips from silicate rock to carbide - a graphite crust over a diamond mantle. Carbon worlds form in carbon-rich disks where there isn't enough oxygen to bind it all into silicates. Instead carbon condenses directly into graphite, carbides, and - under pressure at depth - diamond. They form water-poor, so no life takes hold.
✓ Carbon: 22.2% (>=20% required) ✓ Carbon exceeds Oxygen: 22.2% > 11.1% ✓ Mass: 1.0x Earth (<=8x hycean ceiling)
Habitability Score Uninhabitable
Contributing Factors water 0
No water - the recipe has no hydrogen and oxygen to form it geology 90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle rotation 100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution Organic Chemistry 20
Limited organic chemistry potential atmosphere 40
Atmosphere present but composition not ideal for life temperature 20
Very cold - water frozen, challenging for life magnetic Field 100
