Answer:

The rings orbiting the Jovian planets may have been small moons that got too close to the planets long ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jovian planets are named after the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter. Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. While Saturn is the only planet with prominent and easily visible rings other Jovian planets have also been observed to have rings. It is speculated that the rings may have been satellites that came to close to the planet and when they shattered they formed the rings we see now today.
