Why is this a Ice World?Your planet orbits at 63.90 AU from its star, resulting in frigid temperatures of 29K.
Ice worlds form beyond the frost line where temperatures are low enough for water and other volatiles to freeze solid. They may have subsurface oceans beneath thick ice shells.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Distance: 63.90 AU (>3 AU) or Temperature <200K✓ Temperature: 29K✓ Water content: 41.6% for ice formation

Contributing Factors
water22
Abundant water - frozen solid, no liquid phase at this temperature
geology30
Geologically dead - no nutrient recycling
rotation10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only
Organic Chemistry80
Core organic elements (CHNO) present
atmosphere28
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature0
Near absolute zero - all molecular activity ceases, impossible for life (extreme seasons: at 114° the poles swing between months-long day and night: −11% habitability)
magnetic Field30
No magnetic field - vulnerable to solar radiation
