All the ones in OUR solar system seem to have lots of moons; this is probably not so much a characteristic of "gas giant" planets, but of large planets in general, with high gravity.

We know nothing, as yet, about the moons of the hundreds of planets in OTHER solar systems. We hardly know anything about the planets.

Which types of planets tend to have the most moons terrestrial or gas giants?

Gas giants tend to have the most moons. This is because their strong gravitational pull allows them to capture and retain more moons compared to terrestrial planets. Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn have dozens to hundreds of moons in their orbit.


Does gas planets have gas moons?

Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn do not have gas moons in the same way that they have gas atmospheres. Moons are typically rocky or icy bodies that orbit planets, and they are not composed primarily of gases like the planets themselves. So while gas giants have many diverse moons, none are composed entirely of gas.


Why does Jupiter have moons?

Mainly because of its mass. In general, the more massive a planet, the easier it is for such a planet to catch - or to keep - a moon. Thus, the four gas giants in our Solar System all have lots of moons; the smaller (and less massive) rocky planets have much fewer moons in comparison.


Gas giants have many more moons than terrestrial planets due to have higher?

Gas giants have many more moons than terrestrial planets due to their strong gravitational pull, which can capture and retain more objects in their orbits. Additionally, the larger size and mass of gas giants provide more opportunities for moons to form from the debris in their surrounding discs.


Which type of planets have more moons?

Gas giants tend to have more moons compared to terrestrial planets. This is because gas giants have larger mass and stronger gravitational pull, allowing them to capture and retain more moons in their orbit.
