Section removed

Just providing a notification to this page's editors that I just removed the article's section about Earth's rings. The topic seems notable enough to support such a section, but what was here was copied virtually verbatim from the following article: http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_C&cid=1219723046054&pagename=Zone-English-HealthScience%2FHSELayout

The article itself seems to suggest some good sources that someone could use to find information that would allow for restoration of the section in a form that would no longer constitute be a copyright violation. Mwelch (talk) 20:33, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Time to remove "planetary"?

I suggest that the discovery of a ring system around asteroid 10199 Chariklo suggest that the word "planetary" should be removed from the title of this article. The text of the article should be revised to say that rings are most commonly found around planets, but that 10199 Chariklo shows that rings may also form around smaller objects.

Given that Chariklo could be a dwarf planet, I am not sure that is beneficial. -- Kheider (talk) 16:49, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Are minor planets like the asteroids or centaurs like 10199 Chariklo, not "planetary"?--Asikal1 (talk) 20:22, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Minor planets include everything natural that orbits the Sun, except comets and the planets. This means that "minor planet" also includes dwarf planets such as Pluto. --JorisvS (talk) 20:31, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What would we replace it with? There are also rings/halos around stars and galaxies, so we need to constrain it somehow. The rings around Chariklo are not conceptually different than those around the planets. — kwami (talk) 04:25, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, has anyone tried doing occultations of Rhea? — kwami (talk) 04:26, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rings systems of minor planets and moons?

The section "Rings systems of minor planets and moons" seems to say "nope, we checked and no such thing" then continue with multiple subsections. Johnjbarton (talk) 02:07, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
