Did Earth ever have rings like Saturn? Study links asteroid breakup to climate change
When we think of planets with rings, Saturn often comes to mind. However, new research suggests that Earth might have had its own ring system in the past. Scientists believe these rings were formed after an asteroid broke apart around 466 million years ago.
Earth May Have Had a Ring Like Saturn Once
If astronomers had been walking the Earth 466 million years ago, they may have had something special to see. The moon and the planets and the stars and the sun would have looked pretty much the same as they do today.
Earth used to have Saturn-like rings, new study suggests
Earth and Saturn might be a lot more similar than previously thought. In a new study, a team of researchers suggests that 466 million years ago, a ring system made up of asteroid remnants may have surrounded our planet,
Earth may once have had a planetary ring
C ould Earth once have had a planetary ring like the ones around Saturn? Scientists from Monash University in Australia think so. In a recent paper they identify 450m-year-old craters that lie close to Earth’s historical equator.
Earth May Have Once Had a Saturn-Like Ring, New Study Says
And now, a new study published in the scientific journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters seems to show that Earth itself once had a similar ring. The new study asserts that Earth's ring formed around 466 million years ago and stuck around for around 40 million years before dissipating.
Did Earth Once Have a Ring Like Saturn? Geologists Find Evidence for a Halo of Orbiting Space Rocks 466 Million Years Ago
During a tumultuous period for our planet around 466 million years ago, Earth was pelted with meteorites and rocked by tsunamis. But geologists have uncovered some strange things about this moment in history.
Earth May Have Had Rings Like Saturn, Scientists Say
Evidence suggests Earth had a ring system 466 million years ago, causing a surge in meteorite impacts and possibly influencing the planet's climate.
Scientists unveil theory: Earth once had Saturn-like rings
Scientists have concluded that the Earth may have had a ring system similar to Saturn's based on the analysis of the location of craters on our planet. Scientists claim that over 450 million years ago,
