Ringed Planet Comparisons

Summary[edit]

Description This diagram compares the rings of the four planets with ring systems in the solar system. The Earth is also shown at the same scale. All four ring systems are very different in character. The main rings of Saturn (designated A, B, and C) are bright and are extremely complex in structure. Jupiter’s ring is composed of fine particles that may be slowly spiraling down into the cloud tops of the planet. The rings of Uranus are dark and thin in nature (they are exaggerated in width, in this sketch). Neptune has both thin and wider diffuse rings. Prepared for NASA by Stephen Paul Meszaros.
