Why is this a Earth Like?Your planet has a balanced composition with all CHNOPS elements, proper mass (3.5x Earth), and sits in the habitable zone at 0.10 AU.
Earth-like planets have the perfect combination of composition, temperature, mass, and magnetic field to potentially support complex life as we know it.
Classification Criteria:
✓ All CHNOPS elements present (C, H, N, O, P, S)✓ Mass: 3.5x Earth (0.5-2.0x range)✓ Temperature: 282K (250-320K range)✓ Magnetic field present✓ Distance: 0.10 AU (habitable zone)

Contributing Factors
water90
Good water content
geology100
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle (tidal flexing sustains geologic activity)
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)
atmosphere40
Nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere - breathable and protective (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature100
Optimal temperature range for liquid water and life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection — but the pulsar's beams bathe this orbit in hard X-rays
