The prominent disk (rings) around Saturn are actually composed of billions of individual particles (ice, rock and dust) that orbit the planet above its equator. These range in size from a few centimeters to several hundred meters in diameter. Some are clumps of smaller ice chunks. Saturn is not the only gas giant with rings, all of them do, but they're smaller and can't be seen as clearly.
The rapidly spinning planet exerts two forces on the rings: 1) the downward force of its gravity and 2) a vector force that aligns them along the plane of its greatest effect. The rings probably formed when comets and asteroids got too close to Saturn so they were torn apart by its strong gravity and distributed into an orbiting disk. Usually rings will exist inside a planet's Roche limit, the area where the gravitational force of the planet is too strong for debris to coalesce and form a moon.
Dusts and gases forms the ring around saturn. or the more simpeler answer, BECAUSE IT HAS.
Saturn does not really have a ring around it it is just rocks that have been pulled into the planet by the gravitational force which because the planet is so cold the rocks get caught in the 'ring' because it does
Jupiter doesn't have any rings, and Saturn has 2 rings.
Saturn.
Saturn DOES have rings around it.
Yes, Saturn has many more rings than Jupiter. Jupiter only has 4 rings. Saturn's rings, however, have not bee officially counted. There are seven groups of rings. There are four main groups and three fainter groups. Inside every group there is an unknown number of rings orbiting the planet. There are many theories of the number of Saturn's rings, ranging from 30 to under 1,000. It's believed that the rings of Saturn are caused by a moon which lost its icy shell as it orbited the planet, getting closer to it, eventually crashing into Saturn.
Earth does not have any physical rings like Saturn.
lord of the rings because it has so many rings
Earth doesn't have rings. Only Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune have rings.
The Rings of Saturn has 371 pages.
Saturn is so hot, it lets out gas very often. It has rings, rings, rings
There are 13 total rings in Saturn's Ring.
Jupiter doesn't have any rings, and Saturn has 2 rings.
Saturn has many colorful rings.
The rings around Saturn are sort of pointless. They are actually moons that look like rings because there are so many. Saturn is the only planet to have rings but every planet has moons.
Rings. Saturn has many bright rings and over 60 moons.

Saturn get coler and farther to earth. rings are made of gas rocks and comets. the gratiy is so strong it pulls the ring together Saturn has many rings
saturn has 53 rings and 10 moons that are named by the way.
