How does Saturns rings form?
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.
Why do the particles surrounding Saturn not form a moon or satellite?
The tidal forces from Saturn's gravity are to strong for the rings to form a moon.
How did rings form on Saturn?
THe Saturn Rings are a "Belt" of asteroids that have all found a similar orbit around Saturn. They are made after a collection of asteroids fall into the same orbit, and when observed from a distance, look like the classic "rings".
In what year did Giovanni Domenico Cassini discover the division between Saturns rings?
Giovanni Domenico Cassini discovered the division between Saturn's rings in the year 1675. This prominent division, known as the Cassini Division, is a gap between the A and B rings of Saturn and is named in his honor.

Which of the planets have rings around them and how do they form?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have rings and we do not know precisely how they form (there is more than one possible mechanism)
What is the odd ball planet?
Saturn because of all its rings and Gassy form.
