Is Planet Saturn really losing its ring?
Every 29.4 Earth years Saturn takes one rotation around the Sun. So now Earth comes in between Sun and Saturn as a result the majestic rings won’t be visible from earth as it is tilting 26.7 degrees where the ring of the planet moves to edge. This makes it impossible for earthlings to view the ring.
So, planet Saturn rings are going to disappear on 2025 March and it’s going to reappear in 2025 November. However, the edge side won’t be much visible due to lack of sunlight. Again, skywatchers and scientist can view Saturn in its full glory in 2032. In simple words, we cannot see the rings on Saturn in this period from Earth. Besides this, Planet Saturn is going to lose its rings in the future.
