Its name stems from the fact that it looks like a ping-pong ball
It would later turn out to have an internal ocean churning and refreezing, which is why it has no craters on its surface
Why is this a Ice World?Your planet orbits at 30.70 AU from its star, resulting in frigid temperatures of 54K.
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: 30.70 AU (>3 AU) or Temperature <200K✓ Temperature: 54K✓ Water content: 50.0% for ice formation

Contributing Factors
water22
Abundant water - frozen solid, no liquid phase at this temperature
geology60
Some geological activity provides slow nutrient cycling
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
Organic Chemistry80
Core organic elements (CHNO) present
atmosphere70
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable
temperature10
Frozen world - minimal potential for complex life (extreme seasons: at 64° the poles swing between months-long day and night: −10% habitability)
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection
