Jupiter's faint ring system consists of four main components. They are:

  • a think inner torus called the "halo ring"
  • a very bright but very thin "main ring"
  • two wide, thick outer gossamer rings named "Amalthea" and "Thebe" for the two small moons that probably supply the dust of those rings.
