Why are gas giant planets sometimes reffered to as “mini solar systems”?
A
They are not dense.
B
They have moons.
C
They are gaseous.
D
They support life.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most planetary moons probably formed from the discs of gas and dust circulating around planets in the early solar system, though some are captured objects that formed elsewhere and fell into orbit around larger worlds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Highlights. Jupiter, the fifth planet from the Sun, is twice as massive as every other object in our solar system combined. Jupiter’s four planet-like moons have features like volcanoes and subsurface oceans, making Jupiter a miniature solar system of its own.

Detailed explanation-3: -A gas giant is a large planet mostly composed of helium and/or hydrogen. These planets, like Jupiter and Saturn in our solar system, don’t have hard surfaces and instead have swirling gases above a solid core.
