Well, not exactly. While some likely would come down to earth, pretty much all rocks in ring systems are small when it comes to space-rock terms, so they’d burn up before hitting the ground. That is unless it’s made up of rocks the size of Ceres.

[@-Ryan_Gasoline-]

They're pretty small, they'd just burn up in your thick atmosphere.

[@undesiradude]

An asteroid is defined by how large the rock is, which is 20km in diameter, if my memory serves correct. Yet, even if an asteroid were to hit, it might not be because of the rings. Rings are made of smaller particulates that would burn up in our atmosphere.

[@ScoobyYTP]

[@thelastchairlol8527]

@@TwinkleTwinklePatrickstar lol

[@shoeonhead]

It kind-of depends on a number of factors in my opinion: Take Saturn for example, compared with most other astronomical objects, the ice and rock particles in Saturn’s rings are extremely close together. On average, about 3 percent of the total volume of the disk is occupied by solid particles, while the rest is empty space. This may sound small, but it means the typical separation between particles is only a little over three times their average diameter. Assuming a value of 30 centimeters for the latter, the rocks would be as close as one meter away from each other. There is no hard and fast rule, however, due to density variations across the rings and the wide spectrum of particle sizes. This may or may not be true in the case of a rock ring around earth. But I think the distances you’re thinking of are the gaps between asteroids and other larger, slower moving objects within solar rings and belts. Rather than the much faster moving, but usually smaller objects/particulates found in planetary rings and belts.

[@IdioticSandwich]

Actually, it would be risky as frick, because you can’t just detect that a rock will be there and even if you could, they would also actually be close enough to the point where you have to keep on changing directions, costing a lot of fuel. It isn’t that simple

[@theproslo]

@ssddf1 in fact I might know more becouse I'm literally in a college where you learn this type of stuff plus I never said he is wrong I just said a fact plus I mean why the fuck would someone launch a rocket into the ring there is 95% of Land that isn't under the ring so scientists will probably launch from there

Earth:NO I WANT URANUS RING Uranus:…. Saturn:ummm

[@Sereaph]

Being picky here, but just want to point out it would be physically impossible for the ISS to orbit above or below the rings. Due to orbital mechanics, the orbital plane must always cut through the center of the earth. Another term for this is that the orbit must take a "Great Circle Path" around the earth. An object can only orbit the earths center of mass. If it were somehow above or below the rings, it would no longer be orbiting the earths center. They might be able to orbit at a different angle, but their orbit will always have two intersections with the ring.

[@jayvonnoelsmith8445]

It would be so beautiful to see the rings

[@JustAPersonWhoComments]

For one thing, the rings would likely cause some significant changes to the planet's gravitational pull, which could have an impact on everything from the tides to the weather patterns. It's also possible that the rings could interfere with our ability to launch satellites and other spacecraft into orbit

[@BallMuncher555]

I seriously doubt the mass of the rings would be enough to seriously effect the gravity of the earth.

if we were to assume that the rings mentioned here are made of the moon, it would have the same exact gravitational force as the moon on tides, if not less due to being spread out more
