The Goldilocks zone is the region around a star where liquid water can exist at a planet's surface.
BBC : Most moons are thought to form from the leftover ingredients of their parent planet. In our Solar System, Jupiter's large family of moons likely formed from the accumulation of this material when the planet was young.
Moons can also start out as dwarf planets or asteroids orbiting their star, only later to be captured by planets with a much stronger gravitational pull. This is thought to be the case for Triton, which orbits backwards around its host planet Neptune, and may previously have lived in the Kuiper Belt - a distant zone of the Solar System beyond Neptune's orbit.
Our own Moon formed via a giant impact. When another large body collided with the early Earth, the resulting debris collected to create the Moon.
