Answer:
- Gas giants are the largest planets, indicating that they formed in mass-rich parts of our solar system's early proto-planetary disk.
- As giants collect stuff very well; most of Jupiter's ~67 moons are almost definitely captured asteroids and rock comets.
- Currently, all the gas giants are present in our solar system and these are very far from the Sun.
- This distant environment can be conducive to keeping satellites, as closeness to the Sun destabilizes tiny orbiting bodies through tidal interaction and photon pressure.
- It might not be a coincidence that there are no moons in Mercury and Venus.
