Saturn's rings probably formed when objects like comets, asteroids or even moons broke up in orbit around Saturn due to Saturn's very strong gravity.
The rocks that created the rings used to be stuck together and was one planet but it became too close to Saturn and saturns gravity distroyed the planet and caused those rings. The gravity of the rock cause the to try and stick together and become one planet again but saturns gravity causes them to split apart again
While the planets were getting into place when the solar system formed, the asteroids that were supposed to be in the asteroid belt when Saturn's gravitational pull tugged them into an orbit.
Astronomers believe that hundreds of years ago, two of Saturn's moons crashed. The moons smashed into millions of pieces.The pieces of the moon are orbiting Saturn forming the rings.

What planets does not have rings around it?

The planets with rings are typically the gas planets, which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The rings are usually just substances such as ice, rock, and dust. With that said, the planets without rings are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Pluto also does not have rings, but it is not an official planet anymore. These planets are all made of more solid rocks and minerals, and they are all smaller than the gas planets, since they are denser.
