What do the rings around uranus do does it protect it?
The rings around Saturn are sort of pointless. They are actually moons that look like rings because there are so many. Saturn is the only planet to have rings but every planet has moons.
What planet has shepherd satellites?
Saturn. These moons affect Saturn's rings by their gravity and so they sort of "shepherd" the rings in some places.
What planet does have four rings?
Saturn has rings. But the rings aren't actually rings, they just appear as so. The rings are an accumulation of ice and other space rock debris that is stuck in the gravitational orbit of Saturn. It encircles the planet and appears as rings. Saturn's moons are also in its rings.
How many moons and moonlets does Saturn have?
Over 60 moons have been discovered orbiting Saturn so far, but many of them are tiny moonlets imbedded in Saturn's rings, and are only a few tens of miles across. There could be as many as hundreds of undiscovered moons hiding in the rings.
What planet has 8 rings and 24 moons?
Jupiter, Saturn, neptune, and uranus have rings and moons. they are all gas giants. Saturn is the planet that is known for my rings but many don't accept the privillage of the planet and its atmosphere Saturn
How do Saturn's many moons affect its rings?
The gravity of the moons helps to give the rings their distinctive shape. Some of the moons, due to volcanic activity and gravitational friction from Saturn, spew out tons of material into space that then adds ice and/or methane to the rings. Beyond that, some moons around ringed planets actually "shepard" the debris rings to maintain the ring-like structure. The two Saturn moons Prometheus and Pandora are so called "shepard moons" that maintain Saturn's faint "F" ring. =============== Orbital resonances
Which planet has fifteen moons and ten rings?
A few planets have more than 15 moons. Take Jupiter, which has at least 63 of them. Saturn has 60 known moons, while Uranus has 27. I'm reading a 1987 book of date that says: Jupiter has at least 16, Saturn: 23 and Uranus, 15.
Does Mercury have satellites or rings?
no
Which planets has more moons Venus or Saturn?
Saturn. Venus has none, Saturn has over 60 moons.
What are saturns rings made up of and where are they found?
Saturn's rings are made up of dust and rock in space. Each and every fragment is in a gravitational orbit of the planet, so in a sense, one might say that Saturn has billions of 'moons'.
Does mars have any rings or moons if so what are their names?
it does not have any rings but does have two moons
Do Jupiter's rings rotate?
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.
