Question From One Of My 4th Graders
I am a 4th grade math and science teacher. One of my students, Ashllee Garza, (it would be cool if you could say her name on your reply) asked me, "Why is it the larger planets that have the rings around them, not the smaller ones?"
I told her that I thought it was because the larger planets have stronger gravity allowing them to grab more stuff as it floated by, thus forming rings, but that I should probably ask a real astronomer.
Hope you choose this question.
