Solar System with Planets and Rings Coloring Page

Planetary rings form from dust, ice, and rocky debris that orbit a planet instead of crashing into it. Saturn has the most famous rings, but Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune have rings too. Scientists believe rings may be leftover material from the planet's formation or debris from colliding moons. Earth and the inner planets lack rings because their gravity isn't strong enough to maintain them.

Our solar system contains eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 because it hasn't cleared its orbital path of other debris. The four inner planets are small and rocky, while the four outer planets are large gas and ice giants.

Saturn has the most spectacular ring system in our solar system. Its rings are composed primarily of billions of particles of ice and rock, stretching over 175,000 miles across. The rings are surprisingly thin, only about 30 feet thick in most places, yet remain visible from Earth with a simple telescope.
