Jupiter's rings are dark and hard to see. They are made of tiny particles that meteors knocked off Jupiter's small inner moons and debris left over from comets and other objects that came close to the surface of Jupiter. In fact, until the Voyager spacecraft arrived near Jupiter and took closeup pictures of the rings of Jupiter, scientists didn't even know that it even had rings at all. Two rings are clearly from material that can be associated with two sets of the inner moons of the planet.

When did Jupiter's rings disappear and why?

Jupiter's rings are still faintly visible. However, its rings are probably not as prominent as Saturn's or Uranus' because of its massive gravitational pull. Because Jupiter's gravity SUCKED in a ring because of it's massive pressure and gravity. I never thought it was true but then on a NASA station, i guess it is true, and also, they discovered that one of Jupiter's moons has one of the largest rings in the Solar System!
