The rings are made of particles (rocks and ice) which are in orbit around the planet. They do not "stay in place" but are circling Satrn. The appearance however is that of a disk of material, in the sam way the spokes on a car's wheel or blades on a fan appear to be a disk when rotating. Saturn's rings stay in place also because of its gravity... its rings are not solid but they are made of many small particles. these partivles are so intact because of Saturn's gravity and inertia and thus makes Saturn's rings stay in place.
There are three theories on how Saturn got its rings:
1. Gravitational disruption of satellites: Saturn's gravitational pull tears anything apart that gets too close, and the fragments become part of the ring system.
2. Fragmentation of moons: moons of Saturn collide with each other and other bolides and break up, the fragments of which form Saturn's rings.
3. Accretionary remnant: rings are formed from primordial debris that was not accreted to form Saturn initially.
The particles in the ring have a common momentum that is held by Saturn's gravity. The rings also have a slight gravitational attraction to each other, but not enough to coalesce into one spherical clump.
The wonderful thing we call gravity. The same force whick keeps our moon in orbit, and our feet on the ground.
Gravity just like the moon stays in place. But the rings are ever so slowly being pulled toward the planet so a long time from now Saturn will no longer have rings.
Saturn, it's rings can even be seen with a small telescope. the brightest rings are ring A and ring BSaturn.
there are no rocks on saturn
Yes.
Saturn
ON, no. IN ... there are several moons that are embedded within the ring system.
The particles that make up the ring are in orbit around Saturn.
Around Saturn there is a layer of rock and ice and this forms a ring, so a ring is what is around Saturn=D

saturn has five ring
there are no rocks on saturn
Something special about Saturn is it has a ring
its atmospheric dust that orbits around saturn
Saturn
Saturn's rings are its most prominent feature. Only 3 or 4 are visible through a conventional telescope from Earth. It is estimated that these rings of fine dust and rocks are about 400 000 kilometers wide.
The ring of Saturn is made up of many rocks from the creation of the universe and from many space rocks.
Asteroids in orbit around Saturn
While all the outer planet have a ring system, Saturn's is the largest, most complex and visible ring system in our solar system.
