Planetary ring particle collisions are the constant, low-speed impacts that occur between billions of individual chunks of ice, rock and dust within a planet’s ring system.[1]
These collisions happen because the ring particles are tightly packed together as they circle a planet. Although they travel fast (around 38,000 miles per hour), they surprisingly travel at similar paces around the planet.
Overtime, these small particles will lose dozens of energy, causing the rings to become thin & flat. References
