The rings of Saturn consist of countless small particles ranging in size from micrometers to meters orbiting Saturn. it was demonstrated by James Clerk Maxwell in 1859 that the rings could not be solid due to the fact they would become unstable and break apart. His theory of the rings being composed of small particles was proven in 1895 through spectroscopic studies.

What does the acronym SRB stand for?
There are numerous acronyms for the letters SRB. There are approximately seventy-nine SRB acronyms, which include: Solid Rocket Booster, Service Request Block, Self Run Business, Stress Rated Board, and Spoiled Rotten Brat.
Example of hydrosphere?
A hydrosphere describes the combined mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of a planet.Mercury has little or no water, so it cannot have a hydrosphere.
What does on a wind and a prayer mean?
The phrase is actually "on a wing and a prayer" and it means to just about get the job done despite adversity and setbacks. The phrase originated in a rousing song from the second world war in which a war plane was described flying home badly damaged with one engine blown out, being held aloft by one wing and the prayers of its crew: on a wing and a prayer. One of our planes was missing Two hours overdue One of our planes was missing With all its gallant crew The radio sets were humming We waited for a word Then a noise broke Through the humming and this is what we heard Comin' in on a wing and a prayer Comin' in on a wing and a prayer Though there's one motor gone We can still carry on Comin' in on a wing and a prayer What a show, what a fight, boys We really hit our target for tonight How we sing as we limp through the air Look below, there's our field over there With just one motor gone We can still carry on Comin' in on a wing and a prayer
What is a non-example of silt?
Soil is a non-example of a sedimentary rock.
What is inside when it is outside and what is outside when it is inside?
A door is a common object that fits this description. When a door is closed, it appears as a solid barrier on the outside but allows entry to the inside. When the door is open, the inside becomes visible from the outside, blurring the distinction between the two spaces.
Are there gases in Saturns ring?
No, the components of Saturn's rings are in the solid state.
Can you sit on Saturns rings?
No. The rings of Saturn are not solid disks. They are belts of rocky and icy debris in orbit around the planet.
Are saturns rings soild?
Solid? As in a solid substance? Yes some fragments are as large as a mountain, others as fine as cigarette smoke, but solid not gas. The rings were once part of a moon.
Can you slide on Saturns rings?
Saturn's rings are not solid, but rather vast collections of individual pieces of dust, rocks, and ice. So no, even if you could get there, you wouldn't be able to slide on them.
Could you live on Saturns rings?
No. Saturns rings are made of small meteors. No one can live on meteors because they do not have atmospheres. So far the only planet that can hold life is Earth, because it's atmosphere was designed for humans to breath in it. Care bears do NOT live on Saturn's rings. Don't believe everything you see on tv. Also the only thing that has reached Saturn so far is a highly advanced Satellite.
What is saturns landscape like?
There is no landscape, Saturn is a gas planet with no solid surface.
Are Saturns rings toxic?
Saturn's rings are made up of ice, rocks, and dust particles, so they are not toxic. However, they could be dangerous if someone were to try to land on them due to the harsh conditions and lack of a solid surface to support a spacecraft.
Is Saturns surface rocky or flat?
Neither. Saturn is a gas giant. It does not have a solid surface.
What is the evidence for the Earth's central core being solid?
One piece of evidence for the Earth's central core being solid comes from seismic waves that travel through the Earth. S-waves are unable to travel through liquid, so their absence in the Earth's core suggests it is solid. Additionally, studies of the Earth's magnetic field and how it behaves support the idea of a solid inner core.
What evidence indicates that Saturn's rings are composed of individual moon-lets rather than consisting of solid disks?
Close up photographs (see Cellini space photos).
What proves that mars is alive?
Currently there is no proof or even strong evidence of life on Mars. Analysis of minerals has proven that there was once liquid water, and some chemical evidence suggests that there were once complex organic compounds. This means that Mars might have once supported life, but again, there is no solid evidence.
Are planetary rings solid?
Saturn's rings are made up of little rocks of a moon that never formed, because it was too close to the gravitation pull of Saturn. They are solid, in the sense that each of the little rocks do have mass, but, it's a great many little rocks, that form the rings. It's like a ring of small rocks, or pebbles, that surround Saturn. It's not like a phonograph record, or CD/DVD/Blu-ray that rotates around Saturn. It's like a whole bunch of small rocks travelling around Saturn in a circular orbit.
