Ever wondered why Saturn’s rings are so perfectly flat instead of a chaotic debris field? It’s all about cosmic collisions and gravity! When particles orbit Saturn, they collide and exchange momentum, smoothing out into a shared plane over time. Some rings might even be remnants of shattered moons that already orbited in a flat plane. Nearby moons also play a role, using their gravity to keep the rings razor-thin. This same principle explains why planets and moons in a solar system orbit in a similar plane. Dive into the science behind this celestial marvel and uncover the forces shaping our universe.
