What is the only planet without a ring?

Gnomon

Gnomon says: I thought that only Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus had rings, but it is possible that any planet with a moon has a faint ring. All the planets except Mercury and Venus have moons so it has to be one of these two. It's most likely Mercury since it is smaller and less able to hold on to a ring. Tue Apr 03 02:06:35 CDT 2001 I have found out that all the gas giant planets definitely have rings. These are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune: http://www.astronomical.org/planets/jupiter.htm http://www.astronomical.org/planets/saturn.htm http://www.astronomical.org/planets/uranus.htm http://www.astronomical.org/planets/neptune.htm I can't find any evidence that any of the other planets have a ring.

Have to concur with Gnomon. Looks like Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Pluto all lack a ring structure Jupiter: faint, dusty rings Saturn: bright, spectacular rings Uranus: dark, thin rings Neptune: dark, thin rings and ring arcs http://www-astronomy.mps.ohio-state.edu/~pogge/Ast161/Unit6/rings.html Apr 20 03, 8:42 PM
