Polaris is a planet size moon with diverse biomes capable of sustaining life.
Despite being located at the outer edge of the star's habitable zone, its rich atmosphere in greenhouse gases and it's close proximity to the parent gas giant compensate by trapping both the limited stellar energy and heat generated through internal tidal forces. This heat is then circulated by the planet's thick, dynamic atmosphere. The greenish-blue sky color is given by the trace gases and aerosols in the atmosphere (PPM and PPT concentrations of CH4, NH3, SO2, H2S) from volcanoes and other natural occuring activities.
Positioned at a distance of 5 planetary radii, the moon's own magnetic field and it's dense atmosphere provide adequate protection from solar wind and the planet's outer radiation belt.
