How are the rings of the gas Giants theorized to form?
A planetary ring is a ring of dust and other small particles orbiting around a planet in a flat disc-shaped region. It appears that planetary rings form from the debris of a collapsed moon, and thus they signify a moon's death rather than its birth. Jupiter, a giant ball of gas has faint rings like Saturn's, but much smaller.
