Answer 1

Yes it's possible! But I don't think it could support intelligent life!

Answer 2

You mean like the forest moon of Endor, ala Star Wars? Possible? Sure.

Why couldn't the earth be the only planet with intelligent life in the galaxy?

Answer 3

no, it is not, it is just not dense enough, and therefore does not have enough gravity, it would just be pulled by seperate gas particles. The first guy is wrong.

Answer 4

It's possible, but the moon would need a very strong magnetic field to protect the life from the radiation generated by the gas giant

Answer 5

Sure.  But the 'earth' had best have a kick butt magnetic field.  The radiation around Jupiter is murder.

Could an 'earth' at Jupiter's orbit have enough light and heat for life?  Sure.  A nice green house effect could keep it toasty.
