Lava World
Magnetic FieldExtreme Activity
Why is this a Lava World?A moon inside the synchronous orbit spiraled in and struck the planet. The impact remelted the surface into a global magma ocean.
Tidal decay drags close-in moons down over millions of years. A large enough impactor liquefies the crust, strips atmosphere, and resets the surface - whatever the orbit's temperature would otherwise allow.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Moon inside the synchronous orbit (tidal decay)✓ Impactor massive enough to remelt the crust- Orbit itself was fine: 1.00 AU, 278K equilibrium

Contributing Factors
water50
Limited water content
geology50
Extreme volcanic activity may be hazardous (impact-resurfaced crust)
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
Organic Chemistry100
All CHNOPS elements present - building blocks of life
atmosphere37
Atmosphere present but composition not ideal for life (atmosphere partially stripped by the moon impact)
temperature15
Optimal temperature range for liquid water and life (surface remelted by the moon impact - molten regardless of orbit)
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection

Inside the synchronous orbit: tidal decay dragged it down - it struck the planet ages ago.
