    Rings at a very basic level tend to be moons that could be, or could have been, if they were higher in orbit such that gravity wouldn’t tear the moon apart. They can also be from moons or even planets colliding, the debris in the aftermath forming the rings, which if not too low in orbit, could reform into a moon as well, which seems likely to be how our own moon formed.
