Ring Planet Saturn

Saturn is known as the ring on your planet, which makes it one of the objects can be seen the most amazing solar system.

Saturn's rings can be seen using modern telescopes measuring simple or high-powered binoculars. This ring extends 6630 km to 120.700 km above Saturn's equator, and consists of rocks instead of silicon dioxide, iron oxides, and particles of ice and rock. There are two theories about the origin of Saturn's rings. The first theory proposed by Édouard Roche in the 19th century, is an ancient ring of Saturn's moons that orbit Saturn came close enough that the pieces due to tidal forces. Variations of this theory is the moon is broken due to hit a comet or asteroid. The second theory is not the ring of Saturn's moons, but left out of the original nebula that formed Saturn. This theory is not accepted today, because Saturn's rings are considered unstable for a period of millions of years, and is considered a new form.

Although the room was bigger in the ring as the Cassini Division and Encke Division, can be seen from Earth, the Voyagers discovered the ring structure of art consists of thousands of small parts and small ring. This structure is believed to be formed due to gravity moons Saturn through a variety of ways. Some parts generated due to pass such a small moon Pan, and more parts are missing, while some small ring held by the gravitational field of small satellites pastor, as Prometheus and Pandora. Other parts are formed due to resonance between the orbital period of particles, in some parts, and that the highest localized gone Mimas division Cassini thus is more structured ring is actually rotating waves generated by the interference of gravity on periodically.
