Big Number. 4,100. That’s how many kilometers Quaoar’s rings are from the dwarf planet’s core. That puts its rings at a distance of roughly 7.4 of the dwarf planet’s radii from its core ...

Just on the outskirts of our solar system exists the dwarf planet Quaoar, and recent observations of the planet found a dense ring around it, but scientists can't figure how – or why – it's there.

Recent telescope data revealed that a small planet in the far reaches of our solar system has a dense ring round it, and scientists are baffled as to why.

This Potentially Rogue Planet Might Have Rings That Rotate Backwards — And That’s Not the Weird Part. Simulations show how a giant gas planet could end up with backwards rings and moons.

Scientists say that Saturn's rings are falling in on the planet as icy rain due to the gas giant's intense gravity. Saturn's rings are made of pieces of comets, asteroids or moons.

The rings around the giant planets of the solar system — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — generally fit within the constraints of the Roche limit.
