Why dont the terrestrial planets have rings?
Two main reasons. Firstly, the inner planets are a lot less massive, so their overall gravitational pull is lower than the larger gas planets.

These tend to be the cause of the rings in the outer planets, where orbiting bodies can break up and scatter around the planet in discs.
