Is a planet different from a star?
Yes it is, and this is because a planet is built up out of the dust that surrounds a star. When a star is formed there is still a disk of gas surrounding it. As this gas cools, it condenses and forms solid grains. These grain particles accrete into large bodies called planetesimals, which then collide and accrete to make protoplanets. These protoplanets evolve into planets like the planets in our own solar system.

The rings of Saturn are perpendicular to the equatorial plane of the planet?
The rings of Saturn do lie in the equatorial plane of the planet. This is because it's rings formed from a spinning disk of gas and dust within the original solar nebula. As the planet formed it left a disk of material orbiting the equator. There tends to be a stronger gravitational pull towards the center or the equator of the planet causing all incoming particles to want to go to that plane. Once there, particles often collide with each other and lose energy or momentum. This loose will encourage them to join the throng of moving particles along the equatorial plane.
What is the largest planet with many rings?
The largest planet is Jupiter, and it does have a ring system, but it is so narrow as to be nearly invisible. The planet Saturn is the planet with the large, prominent disk of rings in orbit around the planet.
The internal disk-shaped sacks of membrane seen in electron micrographs of chloroplasts and surrounding a space are called?
The answer is "thylakoids"
What is a ring on a planet?
A ring is a thin disk of small particles of ice and rock
What is a thin disk of small particles of ice and rock?
Rings
A thin disk of small particles of ice and rock is called a?

How do the planets of the solar system form?
Out of an accretion disk leftover from the solar nebula. Small particles bump together and collect until they form planets.
