Why is this a Earth Like?Your planet has a balanced composition with all CHNOPS elements, proper mass (2.1x Earth), and sits in the habitable zone at 0.71 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: 2.1x Earth (0.5-2.0x range)✓ Temperature: 266K (250-320K range)✓ Magnetic field present✓ Distance: 0.71 AU (habitable zone)

Contributing Factors
water47
Limited water content - mostly frozen
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only
Organic Chemistry84
Core organic elements (CHNO) present (tidal pools cycle wet and dry - a boost for prebiotic chemistry)
atmosphere40
Nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere - breathable and protective (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature70
Challenging but potentially habitable temperature (extreme seasons: at 99° the poles swing between months-long day and night: −20% habitability)
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection
