What features of the hip joint are also features of the shoulder joint?
Both joints are enarthrodial (ball and socket joints), but the hip is more stable than the shoulder. This is out of necessity because the hip must support the weight of the body, while the shoulder does not have to. The cup in the hip that the head of the femur sits in is deeper than that of the shoulder holding the head of the humerus. This means less movement for the hip, but more stability.

Why is the range of motion in the shoulder greater than the hip?
The shoulder has a greater range of motion than the hip primarily due to its anatomical structure. The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint with a shallow glenoid cavity, allowing for extensive rotational and multi-directional movement. In contrast, the hip joint, while also a ball-and-socket joint, has a deeper acetabulum that provides stability and weight-bearing support, limiting its range of motion in comparison to the shoulder. Additionally, the surrounding musculature and ligaments of each joint contribute to their respective mobility characteristics.
