What does the rings on a planet tell us?

Question

Since Saturn is not the only outer planet with rings- Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune all have ring systems... .

Do we think the ring systems surrounding these planets are as old as the planet? Why or why not?

Do we expect that inhabitants of Earth 100 million years from now will see the same ring systems around these planets as we do now? Why or why not?

Describe the processes that determine the evolution of rings around giant planets.

Answer 1

The heavier the planet, the more likely that it will have rings orbiting it. This is because it exerts a greater gravitational pull, so 'capturing' more space debris that is passing... as for the rest of your questions i have no idea, sorry

Answer 2

Did you hear that one of the moons of Saturn has rings?

The partial rings around some of the gas giants suggests that you need to continually feed the rings to keep them around.  Saturn and Jupiter are known to have mechanisms for ring feeding.  I expect Jupiter's and Saturn's rings to be around in 100 million years.  They'll have changed at least a little.  We expect that interactions between the bits that make up rings strike each other, and wear themselves down.

Answer 3

it's just that that's how it was created by GOD, SHREE KRISHNA.
