Uranus is orbited by 27 known natural satellites, with the largest ones being Titania, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel, and Miranda. These moons range in size and composition, with some showing unique surface features like canyons, crater fields, and icy plains. Additionally, Uranus has a system of narrow rings composed of dark particles and dust.


Why does the planet Uranus have rings?

The rings of Uranus are made of dark particulate matter (as opposed to the ice composition of the rings of Saturn). They may have been created by the collision of small moons in their orbits around the planet. The more visible rings seem to have larger particles, ranging from .2 to 20 meters in size, while the fainter ones are mostly dust. Thirteen distinct rings are presently known, the brightest being the "epsilon" ring. This ring has little dust and appears to be extremely thin, as little as 150 meters in thickness.

Does Uranus have rings?

Uranus has a complicated ring system. It has 13 distinct rings but many more narrower and less pronounced. Uranus rings are made of rocks "All the gas giants in our solar system, including Neptune have rings. The rings of Neptune are made up of fairly small, very dark clumps of rock. Scientists believe that most of these clumps are about the size of a small car. There is also a large amount of dust in the rings. One of the rings has a twist in it."
