Neptune has 5 (FIVE) ring but they're too faint to see
*Added*
They are broken rings or in some cases "ring arcs" 3 of them are narrow and 2 of them are wide.
Yes, Neptune has several faint rings around it. There are three main rings which are very thin and dark. The rings are made up of small rocks and dust. Neptune's rings are not the same thickness all around. There are areas of the rings which are much thicker than other areas of the rings. These thicker parts are called ring arcs. Some of these ring arcs are also twisted. Because Neptune's rings are so dark and faint, they were not discovered until the 1980s.

∙ 13y agoEarth has no substantial rings, possibly due to the relatively large size of the Moon, and the higher pressure from the solar wind at the Earth's orbital distance. Interactions with lunar gravity and the solar wind would make it difficult for ring material of any size to persist for more than a few thousand years, a very short period of geologic time.
*All of the "gas giant" planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) have rings of ice and dust.
