How does Saturn get its ring?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Saturn's rings are believed to have formed from the remnants of comets, asteroids, or shattered moons that were captured by its gravity. These icy particles orbit Saturn in a thin disk due to the planet's strong gravitational pull and tidal forces.
