Can Gas giants have gas giant moons

oh absolutely, captured, binary even, its theoretically possible for a gas giant to have a gas moon, just cant bee too close to its parent star.

Yup, Kepler-1625 I

Yes, but not for long.

@Junkthunder yeh

@elitecereal if we were to find a exomoon it would probably be orbiting really close to its star and be massive. Since the closer and bigger ones are easier and faster to find than the really small or far away planets

the first few exomoons we find are probably going to be gas giant moons as they're way easier to detect. the same thing happened with exoplanets when they were discovered, we detected the big guys first.

Yes. in fact one of the current exomoon candidates is likely a gas world (Kepler-1625 I)

@Junkthunder oh, I see. That is definitely more plausible.

@LeMagicBaguette what i mean is a moon that's in a transition between planet and gas giant. Because it has a thick Hydrogen and Helium atmosphere.

But just maby a big gas giant planet (4-12 Jupiter mass) with a smoll gas giant moon

What you’re seeing is likely a dummy thicc atmosphere. A true gas world is nigh if not entirely impossible at that scale.
