Saturn has the largest family of moons.
A gas giant planet is likely to have the most moons due to its size and gravitational influence, which can capture and retain a large number of moons in orbit around it. For example, Saturn and Jupiter in our own solar system have a significant number of moons.
Yes, Saturn has shepherd moons, which are small moons that orbit within the rings of the planet. These moons help maintain the distinct ring structure of Saturn by gravitationally interacting with ring particles to keep them in line. Two well-known shepherd moons of Saturn are Prometheus and Pandora.
Most of the gas giants planet's and Pluto all have the same material when they were made which which came from the Kuiper Belt
Europa is a moon of the gas giant Jupiter. It is one of Jupiter's four largest moons, known as the Galilean moons, and is believed to have a subsurface ocean beneath its icy crust.
Jupiter holds the record for having the most moons in our solar system, with a total of 79 known moons as of 2021. These moons vary in size and composition, with the four largest being the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
The largest gas giant in our solar system with multiple moons is Jupiter. Saturn is second, with almost as many moons (around 60), followed by Uranus and Neptune.
Jupiter of course
As of early 2016, there are 67 known moons.

Shepherd Moons was created in 1989.

Your question is illogical. Jupiter is a gas giant itself with rocky moons in orbit.There are no such things as gas giants of Jupiter.
Earth is the terrestrial planet with the most moons, with one large natural satellite called the moon.
Saturn is known to have shepherd moons. These moons are small natural satellites that help shape and maintain the distinctive rings around the planet by interacting with the ring particles through their gravitational influence.
