Rings around a planet are caused by a collision. This collision could occur from a moon crashing into a moon, a moon crashing into the planet, an asteroid crashing into a moon or an asteroid crashing into the planet.The resulting debris from the collision gets trapped in the planetary orbit, and hence, creates a ring system.

What is the name of the planet between earth and the sun which has a ring around it?
The planet between Earth and the Sun with a ring around it is called Venus. Although Venus does not have traditional rings like Saturn, it does have a thin ring of dust particles encircling the planet.

A ring of light around the sun or moon?
I'm not entirely sure what you mean. The moon doesn't produce any light by itself. Instead, the moon reflects sunlight onto Earth. If you mean a ring of light that appears to surround the moon on a clear night, then that would have to do with the Earth's atmosphere and not the moon itself. When light enters the Earth's atmosphere, it scatters due to absorption and re-emission by the molecules as well as a phenomenon called Raleigh scattering. The fainter ring of light that you see on clear nights is thanks to the combination of those two effects.
If there are rings orbiting around Jupiter how many are?
=Jupiter has one ring going all around it.=
Which type of eclipse occurs when the moon appears too small to completely cover the sun and only a ring appears around the moon?
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon is at apogee, which is the farthest point from Earth in its elliptical orbit, making it appear smaller and unable to fully cover the sun. This results in a ring of sunlight called the "ring of fire" that is visible around the moon during the eclipse.
Does earth have a ring around it?
Unless you count a cloud of satellites and debris that we put up there. The earth actually used to have a ring during its formation, but that ring clumped together and turned into what we know see as the moon. Hope this answers your question
What is and equator?
a equator is a ring that goes around earth
Why doesn't the earth have a ring around it?
It used to, but most of it formed to make the moon, whilst some was removed by meteors and comets passing very close to the Earth in the chaotic Hadean As long as there is a moon, there will never be a ring around Earth. The gravity of the Earth and Moon cause too much instability for a ring to form.
Where are the most of the Earth's volcanoes?
around the Pacific Ring of Fire. or the Pacific Plate
What is a word with the Latin root nuntiare?
Anus, which means 'ring', referring to the ring that the Earth's orbit makes around the Sun, or one year.
Why is there a ring around the sun?
The ring around the sun is caused by the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals in the Earth's atmosphere. This optical phenomenon is known as a halo and occurs when the sunlight is bent or scattered by the ice crystals, creating a ring-like appearance around the sun.
Did earth used to have a ring?
Yes, scientific evidence suggests that early in its formation, Earth may have had a ring system similar to Saturn's. This ring system may have been the result of a collision with a smaller planet or moon.
Describe a collision ring theory?
The Collision Ring Theory is the hypothesis concerning the moons origin. Scientists theorize that a massive, planet-sized object struck Earth 63 million years ago, when the space around the Earth was full of rocky debris, resulting in ejected material to form a ring around the still young Earth. The material around the Earth fused into one orbital satellite known as the moon due to the laws of gravity. Parts of the outside layer of the Earth broke off and later were pulled together to form the moon
What is the name of the planet between earth and the sun which has a ring around it?

What causes the phenomenon of a ring of clouds around the moon or sun?
The phenomenon of a ring of clouds around the moon or sun is caused by the refraction and reflection of light through ice crystals in the Earth's atmosphere. This creates a halo effect, where the light is bent and scattered to form a circular ring around the celestial body.
What is the ring around the earth called?
The atmosphere. Space junk, or space debris, and there are tons of it left behind from countless missions. It causes problems for current missions, since collisions could result in serious damage or death.
What is the presence of ring on earth?
there are no rings on earth.
