🪐 Why Do Some Planets Have Rings? | Hey Smartypants Ep. 6
Welcome back, Smartypants! 👋
Today we’re blasting off on an out-of-this-world adventure to explore one of the coolest mysteries in our solar system — why some planets wear shiny rings while others don’t! 🌌
In this cosmic episode, Emma and Matt rocket through space to uncover the secrets of Saturn’s spectacular rings, find out which planets have moons (and how many!), and even discover what keeps all that space stuff spinning in orbit without flying away. All thanks to a stellar question from our friend Adam! 🚀✨
🌠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why Saturn’s rings are made of ice, rock, and dust
Which other planets have rings (hint: more than you think!)
How gravity works like invisible glue holding everything together
Why Jupiter and Saturn have so many moons
What would happen if you lived on a planet with less gravity
And how Saturn’s rings might disappear one day 😱
