Why is this a Ice World?Your planet orbits at 41.40 AU from its star, resulting in frigid temperatures of 68K.
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: 41.40 AU (>3 AU) or Temperature <200K✓ Temperature: 68K✓ Water content: 41.4% for ice formation
Habitability ScoreUninhabitable

Contributing Factors
water24
Water present but mostly frozen (low gravity lets water escape to space)
geology30
Geologically dead - no nutrient recycling
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)
temperature10
Frozen world - minimal potential for complex life
magnetic Field30
No magnetic field - vulnerable to solar radiation
