Why does the ring material not form a moon?

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.

What planet has rings and how many do they have?

In our solar system, the most prominent rings are on the planet Saturn, although Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune all have small ring systems. Saturn's ring system is complicated and still being described; there are at least 3-5 major rings, and smaller rings with divisions between them that brings the count up to around 30.


Is a dwarf planet the same as a moon?

no. a dwarf planet is a planet that doesnt have the characteristics for being a planet so its counted as a planet, a dwarf planet can have moons, such as Pluto has 3 moons, but a moon cant have a moon, so therefore dwarf planets and moons are diffrent.
