Star and planets drawn to scale (a typical star of its class), with only the star's edge in view. Orbits spaced as in the star system view.
Planet, moons and orbits drawn to one scale; the smallest moons are enlarged so they can be seen.
Surface. Rocky surface with impact craters, possible volcanic features
✓ Conditions could support life. This planet’s modelled conditions could support biological processes: stable temperatures, liquid water and the chemistry life as we know it needs. That makes life possible, not present.

Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Tidal flexing melts its interior: an actively volcanic surface (Io-like).
