    There won't be particularly big changes. If there are planetary rings on Earth, it will absorb the sun's energy to a certain extent, but it will not make the Earth particularly cold.

    The temperature of the earth will become very low, and the rings will affect the exposure of sunspots to the earth, and the temperature of the earth will change, affecting the lives of humans and creatures.

    First of all, the earth's gravity will change, and the rotation of the earth will also change, which will cause the earth's day and night to change, the earth's four seasons, the earth's geographical environment, and so on.

    In fact, many years ago, the Earth really had rings, only to disappear later, in addition to Saturn's rings.

    It is made up of large and small blocks of ice, but the composition of the Earth's rings is different, and it all dates back to 4.5 billion years ago, when the Earth and the entire solar system were present.

    It's just been formed, not long ago.

    The Sun Friendship Bridge was far less stable than it is now, and the magnetic collisions between the planets occurred from time to time, and it was around this time that one was called Tia.

    The protoplanet collided with the Earth, and a large amount of debris was thrown into space, and for a time the Earth's perimeter was surrounded by debris, forming an Earth ring.

    So why can't we see these earth rings composed of gravel in space now, this is because after a period of time after the collision, the gravel began to cool, and the distribution of Gu Han itself was very uneven, so the densest part of the ring was condensed together.

    In addition, the Moon.

    The formation theory believes that the moon is likely to be formed by the impact of a planet with the earth, and after the impact, the earth and the planet have a large amount of material, which is thrown into space, and then under the influence of the earth's gravity, a planetary ring is formed, but because the moon was formed quickly, and the gravitational perturbation of the earth and the moon caused the planetary ring to be difficult to operate stably, so the planetary ring also disappeared quickly.

    But relatively speaking, Jupiter.

    Saturn, the sky is good for the slag king.

    Neptune still has its own rings, because they are massive enough and gravitational influence far enough, so the Loch limit radius is far enough, so it is easier for some small objects to orbit around them stably. But the mass of the earth is not large, and there is a relatively large mass.

    1.To form a planetary ring, a matter ** is first needed, and the distance between these substances cannot exceed three times the radius of the planet. For Jupiter, its dust rings appear to be made up of meteorites that collide with nearby moons of Jupiter, produced by **.

    Another factor to consider is solar and wind power. Because we are closer to the Sun, the solar wind has a greater impact on Earth than on other planets farther from the Sun. It will easily remove the small particles that are trying to orbit the Earth.

    Even if the Earth had material that provided the rings**, they would be dark because any bright ice (the main component of Saturn's rings) would evaporate from the Sun's heat.

    2.The mass of the planet should be large enough. The four planets with rings belong to the group of giant planets, and their gravitational pull is greater than that of the other four rocky planets, so they can attract small celestial bodies around them to form planetary rings.

    The mass of a planet determines its gravitational pull and range of influence. When a smaller object enters the sphere of influence of a larger body, it is torn to pieces by gravity, becoming the aura of the larger body. Scientifically the concept of the "Roche limit" is used to summarize this phenomenon.

    3.Saturn's rings are not actually a thin plane, but an area with "thickness", only we are so far away that they look as thin as paper;

    1.Saturn's rings are pieces of debris that can never coalesce into moons (debris that exceeds the Loch limit coalesces into moons), or that is left behind after moons get too close to Saturn for some reason.

    2.There used to be one or more moons orbiting Saturn, but for some reason, the moons were torn to pieces, and these fragments made up the rings of Saturn that are today. The shell structure of Saturn's moons is predominantly ice, and the ice that surrounds Saturn's moons is peeling off.

    The remaining moons hit Saturn, and the gravitational pull of Saturn and other moons tore it to pieces. Between push and pull, dust and debris from the moon are scattered around Saturn, making a circular rotation around Saturn.

    3.There are hundreds to thousands of rings in the plane around Saturn, ranging in size and shape. Most of the rings are symmetrical to the left and right of Saturn, some are asymmetrical, some are complete, relatively intact and incomplete.

    The shape of the ring is zigzag and radial. What puzzled scientists was that some of the growth rings resembled thick strands of string loosely intertwined, or intertwined with each other like a girl's braid.

    Mainly because of gravity and rotational speed. A planetary ring is a ring of material that revolves around a planet. There are two main conditions, one is that the temperature of the planet itself in space should be low enough, and the mass of the planet should be large enough.

    I think the main reason is that the formation of that ring also requires some special circumstances to occur; It is mainly composed of meteorites, which collide with moons near Jupiter, **.

  9. Anonymous users2024-01-29

    Because there aren't many small planets or small bodies, the ring is mostly small planets and meteorites.

  10. Anonymous users2024-01-28

    This is mainly related to the conditions under which the ring is formed.

    The planet's rings are made up of dust and stony objects of varying sizes, as well as even thin gases. Among the eight planets of the solar system, many planets have their own rings, but such "rings" are not found on every planet, only the planets known as gas giants will have them. And there must be some specific conditions for the formation of these auras.

    The current astronomical community generally believes that the formation of the halo is due to the collision of asteroids close to the planet, so the stones and dust generated, and at the same time, the gravitational attraction of the planet and its moons to capture these dust and stones, the formation of the moon ring we see now.

    And why don't we have a halo on Earth? The first is the material reason。The ** of the material must not be too far away, it must be within 3 times the radius of the planet.

    Finally, the energy of the solar wind also needs to be considered. The Earth we are on is closer to the Sun and is therefore more affected by the solar wind than planets that are farther away from the Sun. It is because of the strong solar wind that it can easily blow away the small particles that try to orbit the Earth.

    That's why the Earth doesn't have rings.

    If there is a ring around the earth, in a certain way, although it makes people look beautiful, but the halo will occupy a large part of the sky, because there are many collisions on the halo, which makes the surrounding environment of our earth very unsafe, and it is very likely that there will be meteorite falls; On the other hand, there are a lot of material debris in the ring, and once they take up most of the sky, then it can have a big impact on the launch of spacecraft and satellites.

    It is definitely not a good thing for the earth to have rings.

    The planet Saturn contains special substances, so see it glowing. And the earth itself has no special substance, so there is no aura.

    In the solar system, Jupiter's rings are the most obvious rings and the first planetary ring system to be discovered, and it was later discovered that Uranus also has planetary rings. Saturn's rings were discovered by Voyager 1 in 1979, but Jupiter's rings had to be observed with the largest telescopes available today. Neptune's rings were discovered by Voyager II in 1989.

    Chronologically, the order in which the rings of the planets are discovered is: Saturn – Uranus – Jupiter – Neptune.

    The tilt of the Martian moon, suggesting that Mars has rings? Mars has two moons, of which Deimos is the most special. Both the orbits of the Phobos and Deimos moons are in the same plane as the Martian equator, suggesting that Mars and the moon formed at the same time, but the orbits of Phobos are tilted by about 2 degrees.

    This is a very detailed difference, but it is not very common. For Mars exploration, the inclination of the orbit of the satellite is not important, howeverFor the history of Mars, this subtle difference may suggest the existence of planetary rings on ancient Mars.

    Phobos implies that Mars once had planetary rings, so where did the material of the planetary rings come from? The answer is Phobos.

    Scientists have put forward conjectures about the rings of Mars:Phobos may periodically provide a system of planetary rings for Mars, which is about billions of years, and in the future, Mars may also have planetary rings.

    Phobos is a cyclical product of the Martian ring system, and each cycle makes Phobos lighter. Mars' gravity tore Phobos apart to form the Martian ring; The outer edges of the rings of Mars gradually converge and the moon is formed again by gravity.

    When Mars has a planetary ring, it will push Phobos outward, thus affecting the orbit of Phobos, and the planetary ring will gradually lose mass in this periodic fragmentationScientists**, 3 billion years ago, Phobos was about 20 times more massive than it is now.

    Has the rings of Mars been possible 2 times? According to mathematical model calculations, Phobos was formed about 3.5 billion years ago and is 20 times more massive than it is today.

    Mars' gravitational pull tore Phobos apart to form the Martian rings, a process that took place about twice to form the current miniature Phobos. The current new Phobos is about 200 million years old, and the age of Phobos is billions of years, which is consistent with the simulation conclusions.

    The presence of planetary rings on small rocky planets is very rare, and the solar system has not yet been discovered, and Mars may be the next planet with planetary rings!

    In fact, the ring system is not as difficult as it seems.

    In 2014, an asteroid named "Chariklo" was discovered, and although it is an asteroid, it has 2 dense rings, which is the first time that rings have been found around an asteroid object. In 2017, astronomers discovered that a dwarf planet near Neptune also has rings.

    Star rings may not be a rare phenomenon, but a "space decoration" that every celestial body can obtain.

    No. Because Mars is relatively small in size and has no atmosphere, Mars does not have planetary rings.

    Yes, star rings, like necklaces, are very common in our solar system. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have rings.

    Planetary rings are because the gravitational pull of the planet is too great, so they will absorb floating objects in the universe to form planetary rings, and the gravitational pull of Mars is not enough to form planetary rings.

    Among the eight planets in the solar system, the four gas planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have planetary rings, among which Saturn's rings are very conspicuous and beautiful, so why don't the four planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars have planetary rings?

    In fact, the formation of planetary rings has a lot to do with the formation of planets and their satellites, when the planets are formed, they will constantly clean up other small stars in their orbits, and these small stars will be affected by the gravitational pull of the planets and gather in the periphery of the planets, so it is possible to form planetary rings, and the planetary rings of the four gaseous planets of Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune in the solar system are basically formed in this way. All four planets are giant planets, and their gravitational pull is greater than that of rocky planets, so they are able to absorb small matter around the planet to form rings.

    In addition to the difference in mass, the formation of planetary rings is also related to the distance between planets and stars, the four rocky planets of the solar system do not have planetary rings, another reason is that they are all closer to the sun, the solar wind is stronger, and under the irradiation of sunlight, water molecules can not condense into ice crystals, let alone condense with dust into larger asteroids, etc., so it is not easy to form planetary rings.

    However, there is another mode of formation of planetary rings, that is, when the planet's moons orbit the planet, or when other large asteroids or comets pass by the planet, if their distance from the planet reaches the Loch limit, then the small star will decompose into the planet's ring, for example, if the moon is about 10,000 kilometers away from the earth, it will be torn to pieces by the earth's gravity, thus becoming the planetary ring of the earth.

    In fact, when the moon was formed, it experienced the moment of becoming the planetary ring of the earth, astronomers generally believe that the moon was formed after a massive celestial body hit the earth, and the debris splashed out after the impact once formed the planetary ring of the earth, but because the material distribution of this planetary ring is very uneven, the material of the planetary ring is condensed and fused together to form the moon.

    And Mars's moon Phobos is closer to Mars and is still getting closer to Mars, so it is also possible that he will reach the Loch limit of Mars in the future and become the planetary ring of Mars (there is also a possibility of a direct impact on Mars in the future).

    Planetary rings are actually asteroid fragments that are pulled by Saturn's gravity, causing asteroid fragments to circle Saturn all the time, eventually creating planetary rings. The Earth does not have a planetary ring because the Earth has not been hit by such a huge asteroid, and there is no asteroid debris around it, so it does not form a planetary ring.
