Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have rings. Jupiter's rings were discovered by Voyager 1 in March 1979. The rings extend 80,240 miles from the center of the planet. They are about 4,300 miles wide and less than 20 miles thick.
Saturn has the largest, most wonderful rings in the solar system. Saturn's rings are about 41,168 miles wide and 169,800 miles in diameter, but less than 10 miles thick.
In 1977, when Uranus passed in front of a star, scientists found that the light from the star winked several times before the planet totally blocked the star from view. It was due to the rings around Uranus. The rings are thin, narrow, and very dark.
Voyager 2 discovered a series of at least five very faint rings around Neptune in 1989. The rings are made up of particles, some of which are greater than one mile in diameter.
A day, the period of time it takes a planet to make one complete turn, varies from planet to planet. A day on Venus, Mercury, and Pluto is several times longer than a day on Earth. A Martian day is closest in length to our own. The rest of the planets have shorter days than we do.
