Saturn have it because so other planets can think it is tough
wrong actually billions of years ago a meteor hit Saturn when Saturn
slowly started spinning th rest of the meteor (rock and ice) started spinning around it

∙ 11y agoScientists have ideas about why Saturn has rings, but no one knows for sure.
What are Saturn's rings made of? Are they solid like the CD you used to make your model? Or are they made of many particles dancing in formation around the planet? Four robotic spacecraft from Earth have visited Saturn-Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and Cassini. They have revealed many surprising things about Saturn's rings.
The small color differences in Saturn's rings have been enhanced in this picture from Voyager 2 data.
This Voyager 2 picture shows the gap in the rings called the Cassini Division.
Over 60 bright and dark ringlets show up in this color enhanced image from Voyager 2 data.
The rings are about 400,000 kilometers (240,000 miles) wide. That's the distance from the Earth to the Moon! But the rings are as little as 100 meters (330 feet) thick. They range from particles too tiny to see to "particles" the size of a bus. Scientists think they are icy snowballs or ice covered rocks.
There are actually many rings-maybe 500 to 1000. There are also gaps in the rings. (That's why we put some black rings on our model Saturns.)
The Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn in July 2004 and is still there. It is studying Saturn, its rings, and its moons much more thoroughly than the earlier spacecraft could.
Cassini also carried a probe, called Huygens (HOY-guns), that parachuted into the atmosphere of Saturn's giant moon Titan. Huygens sent back amazing information and images from this strange world whose surface we have never seen.

Which planet has an orbit ring around it?
A planet that has an orbiting ring around it is saturn although there are many other planets with rings saturn has the largest ring!! Fun fact jupiter also has a ring but its to clear to see it in any pictures!
Which planet has bright colored rings around it?
Saturn, it's rings can even be seen with a small telescope. the brightest rings are ring A and ring BSaturn.
What makes Saturn different from other planets?
The very distinct difference between Saturn and all the other planets is it has an Asteroid ring / belt. Saturn has its own asteroid belt and no other planet does.
How many planets in the solar system have ring?
4, all the big planets have rings. Saturn,Uranus,Jupiter,and Neptune.FourFour of the planets in the solar system have rings. The 4 gas planets have rings which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and, Neptune. It was not until 1970 that the gas planets had rings. The rings on Saturn are a lot brighter then the other gas planets
Is Saturn the only planet with a system of rings?
No all the outer planets have rings like Jupiter Saturn uranus and neptune thanx
How many planets have a ring around it?
Each of the four outer gas planets has a ring system. These four outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
How many planets have rings around?
Four planets have a ring system * Jupiter * Saturn * Uranus * Neptune
Which planet has an orbit ring around it?
A planet that has an orbiting ring around it is saturn although there are many other planets with rings saturn has the largest ring!! Fun fact jupiter also has a ring but its to clear to see it in any pictures!
Which planet has bright colored rings around it?
Saturn, it's rings can even be seen with a small telescope. the brightest rings are ring A and ring BSaturn.
Can you name all the planets that have rings around them?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Only Saturn's rings are big and prominent. One of Saturn's moons, Rhea, also has a ring.
Which planets have a ring and moon?
Jupiter, Saturn,Uranus,and Neptune have a ring and a moon.
What is 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
What has the largest ring system of the gas giant planets?
Saturn.
How does the ring stay around Saturn if Saturn moves?
The particles that make up the ring are in orbit around Saturn.
What are all the planets with ring systems?
All of the giant planets in our solar system have rings. Jupiter's sole ring is thin and dark and cannot be seen from earth. Uranus has nine dark rings around it. Neptune's four rings are dark but contain a few bright arcs. Saturn's seven rings are the most significant. They are bright wide and colorful.
What planet has the largest ring system of the gas giant planets?
Saturn.
Why do the last 4 planets in the solar system have rings?
4 Planets have rings Neptune Uranus Saturn Jupiter Jupiter has a very thin ring and you uassily can't notice it Saturn has the largest ring
