they are black and narrow, making them almost invisible from earth. then in 1977 occultation occurred. and rings were able to be mapped out.
Occultation: the passage of one astronomical object in front of another. astronomers expected the starts light to disappear as the planet moved across it. but in addition the star dimmed briefly several times before uranus reached it, as each narrow ring passed between the star and the telescope. the rings were mapped out in detail although they could not be seen or photographed directly. until 1986 when voyager studied them at close range

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
How many planets are in our solar system have rings?
Four the planets in the solar system have rings. They are the four giant gas planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Saturn, which has by far the largest ring system, was know to have rings for a long time. It was not until the 1970's that rings were discovered around the other gas planets. The rings around Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are much smaller, darker and fainter than the rings of Saturn.
Are there any special features on Uranus?
It was once thought to be a comet.It takes 84 Earth years to orbit once around the sun.It has at least twenty moons and ten rings.It is difficult to see even through a telescope because it is 2 billion miles from the sun.All other eight planets have poles at the top and bottom. Uranus has poles on the sides and orbits like it is lying down.It is a gas giant.The temperature is around -357°F*Yes Uranus's is named after the god of the sky.

Which planets have both have moons and rings?
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus all have rings.JupiterJupiter's rings were discovered in 1979 by the Voyager 1 space probe. In total, there are 4 rings, and are in the following order (going from the innermost to outermost): Halo Ring, Main Ring, Amalthea Gossamer Ring, Thebe Gossamer Ring.SaturnSaturn's rings were discovered in 1610 by Galileo as he observed the planet through his telescope. In total, there are 7 rings, named in order of their discovery, and they are in the following order (going from the innermost to outermost): C, B, A, D, F, G, and E.NeptuneNeptune's rings were first detected in 1968 but weren't noticed until 1977, when Uranus's rings were discovered. In total, there are 5 rings, and they have the following order (going from the innermost to outermost): Galle Ring, Leverrier Ring, Lassell Ring, Arago Ring, Adams Ring.UranusUranus's rings were discovered by James L.
