Short Summary: Saturn's Rings

Original Version for Printing

• The repulsion force is responsible for planetary rings.
• It is the concentration of repulsion particles gathering near the equator due to centrifugal force that makes it possible.
• The visible rings are thin, because the outward repulsion particle flow is compressed by the returning gravity particle that ride above and below the ecliptic.
• The composition of the ring material is mostly captured particles from the asteroid belt. 

Questions to Ask?

• Why are all planetary rings present in our system located at the equator and have a rotational period close to the planet?
• Why don't the ring particulates fall into the planet's gravitational field when the gravitational force from the moons only balances a small fraction of the needed counter gravitational force emanating from Saturn?
• If mankind thinks gravity is a wave, how are there uniform ring systems present in an environment of various gravity sources and positions?
