Explain how it is possible that there are moons within habitable zones that have habitable surfaces in other solar systems given that no such thing exists in our own solar system

What will be an ideal response?


They may form as a consequence of giant impacts like that which formed our own Moon. Also, planetary migration may allow for large jovian planets and their moons to migrate in to habitable zones.
