Why is this a Ice Giant?Your planet has moderate mass (8.1x Earth) with significant water, carbon, and nitrogen content, characteristic of ice giants.Ice giants like Uranus and Neptune have icy interiors with thick atmospheres of hydrogen and helium, but not enough to be classified as gas giants.

Moon 1stableOcean world0.040% - 6.9 radii
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
A thin tidal-warmed subsurface ocean may exist, but conditions are marginal (4/100).
Moon 2rings0.010% - 1.9 radii
Inside the Roche limit (1.92 planet radii): torn apart into a ring system.
