Water World Life possible Magnetic Field High Activity
Why is this a Water World? Your planet has abundant oxygen (38.4%) and hydrogen (17.9%), creating extensive water coverage while in the habitable temperature zone. Water worlds have deep global oceans covering most or all of their surface. They form when planets have high water content and orbit in the habitable zone.
✓ Oxygen: 38.4% + Hydrogen: 17.9% (water-forming elements) ✓ Temperature: 286K (habitable range) ✓ Distance: 0.11 AU (habitable zone)

Moon 1 receding Ice lost: volcanic rock 0.45% - 5.5 radii
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Too warm for nitrogen and methane frost and too small to hold them as an atmosphere: those ices escaped to space, leaving water ice.
Too warm for ice and too small to hold an atmosphere: the ice sublimated, leaving bare rock.
Tidal flexing melts its interior: an actively volcanic surface (Io-like).
+10 geology: tidal flexing sustains geologic activity
Habitability ✓ 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.
