Question

Did you know? Saturn's rings are slowly vanishing: dust falls on the planet in a "ring rain" at 10,000 kg per second. At this rate the ring system will completely dissolve in 100-300 million years — a flash visit cosmically speaking.

Accepted Answer

Saturn's rings are slowly vanishing: dust falls on the planet in a "ring rain" at 10,000 kg per second. At this rate the ring system will completely dissolve in 100-300 million years — a flash visit cosmically speaking.

Saturn's ringen verdwijnen langzaam: stof valt op de planeet in een "ring-regen" met 10.000 kg per seconde. Bij dit tempo zal het ringsysteem in 100-300 miljoen jaar volledig zijn opgelost — kosmisch gezien een bliksembezoek.
