Answer 1:
I would say it's possible that one of the gas
giants have destroyed one or more moons. Because
of their size, their gravitational field is much
stronger than the smaller planets. That means
smaller astronomical objects could have been
pulled into their orbits. Some scientists are even
thinking that Jupiter might have destroyed some of
the early planets when the solar system had just
formed. So, yes, I would say it's possible that
Jupiter had a history of destroying moons when it
was young. I hope that answers your question.
Have a nice day!
