Why is this a Gas Giant?Your planet has 39.6% hydrogen and helium, combined with a mass of 18.0x Earth, which exceeds the gas giant threshold.
Gas giants form when massive cores capture enormous atmospheres of light gases. They typically form beyond the 'frost line' where volatiles can condense.
No solid surface — any water is locked in a supercritical mantle and hot ice, not oceans
geology40
Extreme volcanic activity may be hazardous
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) — but the ground itself is radioactive, and no magnetic field shields a world from its own crust
atmosphere12
Hydrogen-rich atmosphere typical of gas giants (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature10
Frozen world - minimal potential for complex life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection
