What causes Saturn's rings orbit Saturn?
Orbits are caused by the force of gravity combined with the speed of the object in the orbit. Saturn's rings consist of millions of small rocks in orbit round Saturn.
Can an object stay in orbit around Saturn somewhere else besides the rings?
Can an object stay in orbit around Saturn somewhere else besides the rings
How many earth days does it take to orbit Saturn?
The sun does not orbit Saturn. Saturn orbits the sun.
What keeps objects in orbit in our solar system?
Gravity combined with the object's "sideways" (tangential to its orbit) motion. The Sun "wants" to pull the object towards it and the object "wants" to fly of into space. When these two things are balanced the object is in a stable orbit.
How long does it take Saturn to circle the sun?
The orbit of Saturn takes much longer than the orbit of Earth. How much longer? It takes Saturn 29.45 years (or 10,759 days) to orbit the Sun. Astronomers call the length of time an object takes to go around the Sun its orbital period. So the orbital period of Saturn is 29.45 years.

What is the force that keeps an object in an orbit?
Gravity is.

The sun does not orbit Saturn. Saturn orbits the sun.

When objects are in orbit what forces hold it there?
In orbit, the force of gravity between the object and the celestial body it is orbiting keeps the object in orbit. This force creates a centripetal acceleration that balances the object's inertia, causing it to stay in a stable orbit.
Would Saturn still be a planet without its ring?
Yes, because it orbits the sun and keeps a constant orbit.
Do the moons of Saturn orbit the Sun?
Yes, they orbit Saturn and Saturn orbits the Sun.
Why are Saturn's moons not planets?
A moon is an object that orbits a planet. A planet cannot orbit another planet.
What planet takes twenty nine earth years to orbit the sun?
Saturn takes 29.66 years to orbit the sun.
How long for Saturn to orbit the Earth?
Saturn doesn't orbit Earth
Does Saturn revolve while in orbit?
No Saturn does not revolve while in a orbit
