Q&A

Maximum amount of habitable moons possible around this Jovian planet?

+0
−0

The gas giant has a mass of about 2.13 Jupiter masses in the habitable zone of a Sun like star 0.981 Sol masses, all the moons will need at least >0.12 percent of Earth's mass and a Mars like density to support an atmosphere for billions of years. I assume the largest moons will be around 0.3 Earth masses as larger moons have larger hill spheres and will probably create orbital instabilities.
