Feb 2, 2019 at 16:40 comment added cybernard Many of the moons don't have a radius large enough to bother colonizing them. One as low as 2000 feet. 0.6m 11 of 20 are smaller than 20mi.

Feb 1, 2019 at 15:27 comment added Cyn I changed the title from planet to moon because the question only talks about moons. If you want to change it back, feel free, just also edit the question to say how planets are involved.

Feb 1, 2019 at 3:23 comment added Dilettanter Because low gravity makes habitability much more difficult. And if we must colonize the gallelian moons, then how could we overcome their weak gravity? Even something like "walk around with magnets on your feet on magnetic floors" is one way around it, albiet a rather lame one.
Feb 1, 2019 at 3:06 comment added Mr.J Sadly though, the most believable sci fi way of increase a space object's gravity is by creasing its mass, making sure that the core also grow in size too, I'm not too sure what kind of satellite provide greater gravity (e.g earthlike planet with iron core, gas giant with ice core or a water giant with a rocky core, etc etc...). It would be better to if we know why would you want a planet or a satellite to increase its gravity, thank you and good luck!
Feb 1, 2019 at 2:59 comment added Dilettanter @mr.j that is correct! Thank you for the clarification
Feb 1, 2019 at 2:57 comment added Mr.J Hello and welcome to Worldbuilding S.E! Do I understand correctly your question, you want your moon's gravity to increase artificially right?
