there are two things that prevent that one sounds like it would make them crash
they are constantly being pulled in to the planet due to gravitational pull which according to E=mc² actually pushes on the planet due to time and light bending around the object but that's another explanation
BUT heres the key
the rotation of the planet and rings (which are clouds made up of small asteroids and pieces of ice) also rotate along with the planet which slings them outward
now what this does is pushes them until they find their equilibrium that stabilizes them, much like the way the moon revolves the earth stabilizing it on its axis controlling the climate of the earth
i can explain the rings as a skydiver, the skydiver falls until the force of gravity is canceled out by the friction of wind resistance but in the case of the rings the force of gravity is nuled out by the force of the rotation throwing out the rings
long story short, no they will never collide unless Saturn cracks and splits in half, and i don't think Darth Vader is going to be shooting it with his death star any time soon.
jupiters rings are bigger than Saturns.
No, Saturn itself is much larger than its rings. Saturn has a diameter of about 116,000 kilometers, while its rings extend out to a maximum distance of around 282,000 kilometers.
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.
saturns rings are made out of rocks ice and dust. it was formed by broken pieces of one of saturns moon. a long time ago one of saturns moon exploded then all of the pieces started orbiting Saturn
Saturn's rings are expected to disappear in around 100 million years, due to factors such as material being pulled into the planet by gravity, the rings spreading out and becoming thinner, and collisions between particles causing them to break apart.
No , because they will always be orbiting Saturn and it is impossible for them to collide because if you touch them.. They break into tiny little bits of pieces. - Julie ; xo
jupiters rings are bigger than Saturns.
No, the components of Saturn's rings are in the solid state.
Saturn's rings are made of dust, ice, and rock.
Saturns rings make it unique
There are moons in Saturn's rings, they are called shepherd moons because they help keep the rings intact.
No, Saturn itself is much larger than its rings. Saturn has a diameter of about 116,000 kilometers, while its rings extend out to a maximum distance of around 282,000 kilometers.
its called the rings of Saturn similar to the crippler crossface
saturns rings are primarily gas so they only have color when reflecting off the sun

you could swings on its rings and go into saturns pools
