Yes, they have to rotate to stay in orbit and not just fall down into Saturn. The rings aren't solid objects, they are made of millions of tiny bits of dust and ice. Each bit is in orbit, just like a moon or satellite.

∙ 12y agoYes, the rings orbit in a plane roughly the same as Saturn's equator.
(Some of the outer rings are not related to the main rings and their orbits are shaped by the associated Saturnian moons.)
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoYes. Like most moons, the moons of Saturn are tidally locked, meaning they rotate once every orbit around Saturn so that the same side always faces the planet.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, the rings are made of bits of dust, ice, and rock, and they are going around in an orbit.

jupiters rings are bigger than Saturns.
What is Jupiters climate like?

Are Jupiters rings dimmer and not as noticeable as Saturn's?
Yes. Saturn has the brighest, most noticeable rings of any planet in the solar system by far.
Can Jupiters gas affect its rings?
Jupiters' gases are confined to the planet by its massive gravity. The rocks and ice are trapped by the same gravity. The two do not interact. Some of the material in the rings falls out of orbit due to loss of forward momentum and fall into Jupiter. They are short lived and disintegrate.
What is the function of slip rings in ac generator?
They rotate the armature coil.
What colours are the rings in are solar system?
There is no rings,it only shows it on posters and stuff so you understand how they rotate around the sun.
Which planet of the gas giants has no rings?
Each of the four outer gas planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have a ring system, but Saturns rings are by far the most spectacular. Neptune and Jupiters ring system is very feint.
Are all planetary rings at the planet's equator Do any have polar orbits?
No, all the moons and rings rotate in the same plane as the planet itself.
When was Jupiters Darling created?
Jupiters Darling was created on 2004-06-22.
Which of jupiters moons is called the ice moon?
jupiters ice moon is Io
How are Saturn's bands different form Jupiter's?
Beacuse it is very different form each other so it cause an effect then it makes bands.
