Why do some planets have rings?

Saturn

We know many planets that have some kind of ring system. And the most well-known of those planets is Saturn. All gas giants in our solar system have a ring system that orbits them. So there are many theories about the origin of those rings. 

There is the possibility that forming of the rings is unique. So that means there are more than one reasons why some planets have rings. But if we are thinking about the gas giants in our solar system we must realize that those planets are more distant than Earth. 

So solar wind in that area is weaker than in the Earth's distance. And that means the particle (or ion) flow from the Sun would not blow those particles away. That explains why Earth has no rings. The reason for that is the solar winds. That are blowing sand or some other particles away from the Earth's orbiter.

There may be many things that are forming ring systems for planets. There are three of those theories. And maybe there are many other reasons why some planets have rings. And some have not. 

*Plasma- or Van Allen rings of the planets are capturing sand bites that travel at the solar system. 

*In the case of Saturn, the shepherd moons are also playing their role in forming and anchoring the ring system. The shepherd moons are moons. That is orbiting the ring system on both sides of it. And the gravitational fields anchoring the objects in their places. 

*The Van Allen belts could capture small particles. And that explains why Uranus' rings seem to have no shepherd moons. The Van Allen ring or plasma ring can capture very light and slow-speed objects. So that means there could be many reasons why some planets have rings. 

*If the planet's distance is high enough from the Sun solar wind would not blow that dust away. 

*Destruction of the ancient moon can explain ring systems that involve large particles. 

*That moon could be destroyed by cosmic impact. Or tidal forces of the planet and its other moons can destroy that ancient moon. 

The planets with ring systems 

a) Jupiter's rings

a) "A schema of Jupiter's ring system showing the four main components. For simplicity, Metis and Adrastea are depicted as sharing their orbit. (In reality, Metis is very slightly closer to Jupiter.)" (Wikipedia, Rings of Jupiter) 

a2)

"Metis orbiting at the edge of Jupiter's main ring, as imaged by the New Horizons spacecraft in 2007" (Wikipedia/Rings of Jupiter)

b) Saturn's rings

"Side view of Saturn system, showing Enceladus in relation to the E Ring" (Wikipedia/Rings of Saturn)

b2)

"The full set of rings, imaged as Saturn eclipsed the Sun from the vantage of the Cassini orbiter, 1.2 million km distant, on 19 July 2013 (brightness is exaggerated). Earth appears as a dot at 4 o'clock, between the G and E rings." (Wikipedia/Rings of Saturn)

c) Uranus rings

"The scheme of Uranus's ring-moon system. Solid lines denote rings; dashed lines denote orbits of moons". (Wikipedia/Rings of Uranus)

"The scheme of Neptune's ring-moon system. Solid lines denote rings; dashed lines denote orbits of moons".

d) Neptune rings

d2) "Rings of Neptune imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam instrument" (Wikipedia/Rings of Neptune)

*There is the possibility that the planet capture the large dwarf planet and then the tidal forces will rip that dwarf planet in pieces. 

*In that case. The shepherd moons or moons that are orbiting the planet at both sides of the ring system are anchoring those objects in their places with their gravitational effects. 

And that means there is a possibility the plasma rings or Van Allen rings of giant planets capture dust, asteroids, and comets that travel in solar systems. And at least in cases where the ring system is formed of sand or other way saying small-size particles. That is the reason why some gas planets have rings. 

Another reason could be the ancient moon that is broken by cosmic impacts. That thing can be a reason, for planets like Saturn have larger objects in their rings. When that hypothetical moon is destroyed. The particles that are remaining of that ancient moon left to orbit Saturn. 

In some of this theory's other versions, Saturn collided with an asteroid cloud that could be the remnant of some ancient dwarf planet and some of those remnants remained to orbit that planet as the well-known ring system.

By the way...

The idea of the solar ring- or ring-shaped solar panels is taken from the planetary rings and one hoax theory. 

There is one UFO theory that I want to mention here. That theory is that the Uranus ring system is the solar panels that are orbiting the gas planet. Today that theory is crushed, but it gave an idea that maybe in the future Earth and some other planets or space colonies will get their power from solar panels that orbit the planets. 

The energy will transport to those colonies in the form of radio- laser or microwaves. That kind of solar ring or extremely thin silicone panels might solve the energy problems of the future. If those solar rings or ring-shaped solar panels are rotating or orbiting the Earth or some other planet the gravitational and centripetal force would have the same power, and they would anchor that solar panel in place. But that thing requires that the panels will move all the time. 

It's possible that between the center planet and the inner edge of the silicone panels is the frame. The orbiting silicone panel delivers energy to that stable frame. And that frame sends energy to the receiving stations on Earth.

Can we create robots or computers that are more intelligent than humans? And would we need those systems for travel to distant words like icy moons of Neptune?

Can we create robots or computers that are more intelligent than humans? And would we need those systems for travel to distant words like icy moons of Neptune? 

This question is very interesting because we can connect the human-shaped or even bug-sized robot to the supercomputers by using mobile data connection and outsourcing the calculation capacities will give the ability to give even the smallest robots very sophisticated abilities. If we think the ability to connect the robots straight to human brains by using EEG-bandanas, we can think the case.

That the system would consist of the ability to connect human brains to the same interface, what allows remote-system controls the field-operating robots, that would give the robot more brain capacity than humans. And this thing has given ideas to the robots like "Data" in "Star Trek" movies.

Those robots would look like very emotional, but they would be the part of the craft"s central computer system. That device would communicate with the crew, but there might be some other missions of that machine. There has been introduced one of the most extraordinary things about the purpose of that kind of hypothetical robots. And that is the robot would act as the pineal gland for the central computer. The idea is that the robot itself is highly sophisticated microprocessor what communicates with the memory blocks of the craft.

And this kind of things would be interesting when we are thinking about a hybrid computer system, where the central computer would operate with a robot. This kind of systems might look like basically trucks. In the roller-coaster would be the central computer, what communicates with the human-shape robot, what will operate as a driver. A similar system might also installed in the normal-looking houses. This kind of ideas can be used as the base for ideas to send human-shaped robots to other planets.

Those particles or targets for intelligent space probes could be extremely cold moons of the distant planets. 

The idea is similar in many cases. The human-shaped robot can operate separately from the platform, where are the central computers. And also the system might get assistance for computing from the satellites and super-computers, what are on the Earth. The system might use many sensors for modeling the environment, and one of those systems is laser-scanner, which would model the area very effectively.

If the system operates on some icy moon, the quadcopters would use the frozen gas for the propellant of the rocket engines. The system might break water molecules or it can boil hydrocarbon or nitrogen ice by using electric arc. And this would make possible to fly above those distant and icy worlds like moons of Saturn or Neptune. 

Also, that robot would operate with quadcopters, what will scan areas, what is invisible for the robot itself. The operators, who are working with supercomputers, and the super simulations would use this model for creating the routes for those robots. When we are thinking about the form of this kind of robot or robot group, it might look like some kind of jeep and the human-shaped robots could walk around it.

The computers would be networked the human-shaped robots and the central computer, what locates in the jeep-shaped vehicle. That combination can send the "humanoid robots" to search for things like cliffs. And if those systems are operating on the planets, where are not life forms but there is an atmosphere, all of the parts of those systems might use nuclear power.

But if there is not the atmosphere, but there is water, the quadcopters could create oxygen and hydrogen for rocket motors by using electrolysis. In those cases, the system would take the bite of ice and melt it in the electrolysis chamber. Also, there have been ideas that if the ice is forming by some gasses like frozen nitrogen or hydrocarbon the system might use electric arcs for steaming that material, and that would make the probes fly above frozen worlds of the distant moons.

Strange idea of planet X

When we are thinking about conspiracy stuff, we are somehow facing the story of "Nibiru" the planet of the brown draft, what is called "Nemesis". The astronomers were looking for that planet and star in centuries, and the most fascinating thing would be the star what will orbit one planet. That star would be hidden in somewhere at the Kuiper belt.

The mythic "Planet X", what would orbit the sun or another star, what might be "Nemesis", the mythic side of the Sun. There is a theory that this strange "Planet X" what orbits the brown draft, what is called as "Nemesis" would have found, but then it would be hidden from the public, and the ask will be, "why that thing will be done"?

Could "Planet X be the mysterious "Vulcan"

Sometimes astronomers have claimed that there could be one planet inside the trajectory of Mercury. And then there seem no objects, but then somebody has claimed that could the "Vulcan" actually the "Planet X", what would orbit the Sun in the trajectory, what makes it the real world "Helicon", the planet what would go very far beyond the trajectory of Neptune, where it atmosphere would turn to ice, and then it would go near the sun, where the surface of this planet will be melted to magma. Actually, we know one of that kind of planet, what will travel very near to it a center star, and then it would go so far, that its atmosphere turns to ice.

The thing about this mythic story, what might grab is that it brings something in my mind, what people don't even think. And in this text, I will give the hypothesis, why somebody would hide the existence of "Nibiru" the "Planet X" And that thing would hear also "what would you do with own planet"?

Why would somebody hide the planet? 

The thing is that the planet is a very interesting thing. If there would be liquid water, there could be life forms. But if the planet would be covered by ice, and the temperature would be extremely low, would that thing more addictive than the case, where there could be the life forms. That kind of planet can be used as nuclear storage, as in some bad movies are told, but there might also have more sophisticated use of that kind of things like another planet.

In that planet can some government establish the laboratory, where it can develop the next generation technology, and nobody would disturb that thing. The thing is that by using nuclear energy or some other energy source like geothermic power plants the system can create electricity to those laboratories. And the electricity can be used to melt the ice to water, and the geothermal energy can be used also in very low temperatures.

When we are thinking about the laboratories, what would be established on the surface of planet Pluto, the icy gasses like methane and icy nitrogen can also rotate the turbo generators, and the system can use combine the hydrogen and oxygen in the fuel cells, and those gasses would help to make those bases independent. But at the first oxygen and hydrogen must separate from the chemical combinations, and after that, the water supply of the base would be done.

This is, of course, science fiction, and there is no proof about the existence of the Nemesis star, except the anomalies in the movement of the Neptune trajectory. That means that the real trajectory of planet Neptune would not follow the calculated line. When Pluto was founded in the 1930's everything seemed to be fine, but then the astronomers noticed, that this draft planet of the solar system, was too small to cause the anomalies in the trajectory of Neptune, and then the search of that mysterious "Planet X" has been continued until today.
