Will Mars develop a ring in about 50 million years?

Question

I was searching up on some random facts and read one about Mars. It said that in about 50 million years, Mars will have a ring like Saturn..... I was just wondering: is this true?

Answer 1

i doubt it

mars isn't big enough to rip something apart with tidal forces, if it was, it probably would have had a ring by now anyway

it's like 5 billion years old, why would it form a ring in 50mill?

Answer 2

It's true that Mars's moons are slowly decaying in their orbits. I'm not sure if they're large enough to make a ring system, or Mars's gravity strong enough to pulverize them before they enter its atmosphere. In any case, assuming the moons do get dutifully pulverized, I'm sure they're not massive enough to make rings anywhere near as spectacular as Saturn's.

Answer 3

seems possible because all planets have large amount of gravity

however i believe that mars would have a hard time developing rings with such a low g-force compared to the gas giants

with less gravity it make  the rings composition made of slow moving debri and would need alot of it for it, and collect a certain way so that it would not just be pulled in and distroyed as quick as it came in to orbit

  

Answer 4

I don't see how this can be true as Mars has two very small moons which would not have much material to break apart.

Answer 5

Rings of a planet are formed when moons venture to close to planets and are torn apart by the gravity.  Try researching the Roche limit.  Since Mars isn't relatively that large of a planet its Roche limit would be very close to its surface, as compared to Jupiter or Saturn.  I don't think Phobos or Deimos would  venture that close in, and definately not within 50 million years.
