Rings of planets

The rings of the planets are dust, gas and icings rotating at high speed.  

All gas planets of the solar system have rings (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). It is also supposed that the Earth also had rings, but not for long. 

The most common hypothesis for the formation of rings is the destruction of the satellites of the planets, there is also a hypothesis that this is a remnant from the formation of the planet, that is, a surplus.

 Another interesting fact is that the rings are located near the equator, because the planets are flattened, and it is the equator that is the most gravitationally stable region.
