Best Answer

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.
