Renegade343 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 god created saturn he loved it so he put a ring on it As well as a few other planets, simply because they have an strong enough gravitational field to attract all the bits and chunks.

Renegade343 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) can't put ring on chunks :< Asteroids come near to planet, planet has strong enough gravitational field to split it up into chunks, then make it stay still from a certain distance from the planet. Rinse and repeat until a coherent ring is formed. EDIT: And maybe a few moons as well. Edited July 17, 2014 by Renegade343 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandr_ Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 One thing has bugged me for a while about Uranus' ring in general, is it common for Rings to orbit vertically like that? Whenever I see a plaent with rings, fictional or not they're always horizontal. So is Uranus the odd case out or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I see a plaent with rings, fictional or not they're always horizontal. So is Uranus the odd case out or what? Yeah. Scientists reckon it was involved in a collision with some other body which put it on that tilted axis. Usually planets will spin in the same direction as they orbit, angular momentum and all that.

Whenever I see a plaent with rings, fictional or not they're always horizontal. So is Uranus the odd case out or what? It is accurate in that regard. Something happened long ago that caused Uranus to get knocked off its axis and thus it's pole, along with its ring was shifted to be vertical like that.

CatPhoenix Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The ring wasn't the wrong way, someone rotated the planet 90 degrees, during the great Wizard Grineer War. Hint: A Wizard did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting for this to happen, it was inevitable for an Uranus joke to appear at something The ring wasn't the wrong way, someone rotated the planet 90 degrees, during the great Wizard Grineer War. Hint: A Wizard did it. I thought that Wizard came from the moon?

(PSN)BitmapFrogs Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Personally I think it's worse that Phobos, a small rock with a total surface area smaller than London is depicted in game as a big planet with expanding horizons, atmosphere, etc. The grineer settlement tileset belongs on Mars, not Phobos =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnbeBleeder Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Old science books gave Earth a moon and a bunch of other planets. I was then told the Earth had no ring, not even a small thin one like Jupiter. It still has rings ;_; EVERYTHING WASNT A LIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex342213334 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 One thing has bugged me for a while about Uranus' ring in general, is it common for Rings to orbit vertically like that? Whenever I see a planet with rings, fictional or not they're always horizontal. So is Uranus the odd case out or what? The vertical alignment could be caused by a difference in the orientation of the magnetic poles of the planet. An example would be if you rotated the rotational axis of Saturn 90 degrees south based on the original orientation then the rings of Saturn may be vertical or you could just rotate the camera/point of view 90 degrees in either direction. You have to take into account that we use earth as a main reference point when looking at celestial bodies. Meaning if the axis of rotation of earth was 90 degrees different than that of Uranus then the rings would seem vertical but relative to Uranus' axis it may be horizontal. However science is way too far from finding the truth that this is a mere theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
