Reply to comment by Kveldwulf in What's the importance of our solar system having so many moons? by [deleted]

how is that possible ? with 100 billion stars just in our galaxy alone, stating that a gas giant is rare doesn t sound correct. did we check all 100 b systems and validated that all planets within?

"Somewhat rare." Also, as other commenters have mentioned. It's not so much the size of Jupiter but the size and the location of Jupiter that is unusual.

Last time I checked we have only discovered a couple thousand exoplanets

Edit: Google says 5,307
