Magnetic Field Extreme Activity
Why is this a Ice Giant? Your planet has moderate mass (17.0x 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.
✓ Mass: 17.0x Earth (5-20x range) ✓ Water/Carbon/Nitrogen rich composition
Habitability Score Uninhabitable
Contributing Factors water 15
No solid surface — any water is locked in a supercritical mantle and hot ice, not oceans geology 50
Extreme volcanic activity may be hazardous (tidal flexing sustains geologic activity) rotation 10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only Organic Chemistry 50
Carbon and hydrogen present - organic chemistry possible atmosphere 12
Hydrogen-rich atmosphere typical of gas giants (partially stripped by slow rotation) temperature 5
Scorching - hot enough to melt lead, though rock stays solid; no chance for life magnetic Field 100

Surface Characteristics No solid surface - a deep volatile envelope over a supercritical water mantle and hot-ice interior Moons
Moon 1 stable 0.028% - 3.3 radii
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Moon 2 rings 0.00014% - 2.3 radii
Inside the synchronous orbit: it spiraled inward and was torn apart at the Roche limit (Phobos's fate).
Moon 3 rings 0.00020% - 1.2 radii
Inside the Roche limit (1.79 planet radii): torn apart into a ring system.
