Jovian planets have rings because:__________.

a. their thick gaseous atmospheres would disintegrate any small rock that enter them
b. there is too much material to have fit into the ball of each planet
c. tidal forces prevent the material in rings from forming into moons
d. Jovian planets rotate very rapidly, and some material near the equator of these planets was flung outward, forming the rings
e. tidal forces cause volcanic eruptions on some moons, and part of this material subsequently escaped the gravity of the moons, forming the rings.

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

Planets after Mars in our solar system are called Jovian planets. Therefore, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are Jovian planets. The specialty of these planets is that they mostly made of gases and have ring around them.

They have rings around them because tidal forces cause volcanic eruptions on some moons, and part of this material subsequently escaped the gravity of the moons, forming the rings.
