  • Why does Saturn have rings?

  • Because it has got engaged.

  • No.

  • Scientists don't exactly know why Saturn has rings, but they think that it is related to Roche limit.

  • What is Roche limit?

  • Roche limit is the distance from the planet at which objects in orbit around the planet tend to be ripped apart by the planet's gravitational pull.

  • Now based on the Roche limit, one of the prevailing theories is that Saturn's rings are remnants of celestial bodies like a moon or a comet.

  • Billions of years ago, a celestial body may have got too close to Saturn exceeding the Roche limit.

  • Hence, its side facing the Saturn was pulled more strongly as compared to the side facing away.

  • So, this inconsistent gravitational pull may have ripped part the celestial body into pieces.

  • Finally, these pieces might have started revolving around Saturn forming its beautiful rings.
