An extremely distant frozen world orbiting JBC-9052 at nearly 700 AU. Its surface is covered in ancient ice and frozen volatile compounds, with almost no geological activity. It is believed to have been scattered into the outer system billions of years ago.
Why is this a Ice World?Your planet orbits at 948.70 AU from its star, resulting in frigid temperatures of 28K.
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: 948.70 AU (>3 AU) or Temperature <200K✓ Temperature: 28K✓ Water content: 39.0% for ice formation

Contributing Factors
water22
Abundant water - frozen solid, no liquid phase at this temperature
geology30
Geologically dead - no nutrient recycling
rotation65
Slow rotation - significant day/night temperature variations, but life can adapt
Organic Chemistry100
All CHNOPS elements present - building blocks of life
atmosphere70
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable
temperature0
Near absolute zero - all molecular activity ceases, impossible for life
magnetic Field30
No magnetic field - vulnerable to solar radiation
