wondering one thing, maybe it sounds silly to some of you but here goes nothing:
Saturn has 7 large moons and the total number of moons is still unknown. Jupiter has 63 moons. Uranus 27. But neither Jupiter's nor Uranus' rings are as prominent as Saturn's.. why ?
Scientists explain their origin as arising from gravitational forces of different moons aligning in such a way to control tiny particles in a ring shaped pattern. The bigger particles/objects get sucked into these moons. Since there are more moons in Jupiter, isnt there a greater likelihood of having more prominent rings over there ?
