SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The planet Saturn has the most extensive ring system in the Solar System. Its rings are made up of rock, dust and icy material. Pluto does not possess any rings around it. However, Jupiter and Uranus possess a system of rings which are mostly composed of dust and ice.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like the other giant, or Jovian, planets-Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune-Saturn has extensive systems of moons (natural satellites) and rings, which may provide clues to its origin and evolution as well as to those of the solar system.

Detailed explanation-3: -No other planet in our solar system has rings as splendid as Saturn’s. They are so expansive and bright that they were discovered as soon as humans began pointing telescopes at the night sky. Galileo Galilei was the first person known to view the heavens through a telescope.

Detailed explanation-4: -The particles in Saturn’s rings are composed primarily of water ice and range in size from microns to tens of meters. The rings show a tremendous amount of structure on all scales; some of this structure is related to gravitational interactions with Saturn’s many moons, but much of it remains unexplained.
