Description

The mother star is an orange dwarf. These stars aren't as hot as yellow dwarfs (our Sun is a yellow dwarf), but they are more stable and have a longer lifespan (10 billion years vs 15 to 20 billion years), but are smaller and dimmer.

Even though the habitable zone is closer to the star, it still doesn't reach close enough to the star to tidally lock the planet (so only one hemisphere ever faces the star), like our Moon is tidally locked with Earth.

change 1 - two more planets added to the system
change 2 - different position of the planets in the system (the habitable world is still the second one from the star)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
