How do Saturn's rings spin in relation to the planet's spin?
gpt
Saturn’s rings orbit at the orbital velocity of their altitude, between 24000 m/s at the innermost rings to 1470 m/s at the outer edge. The equatorial rotational speed is about 9600 m/s, which is much slower than surface orbital velocity (as expected, otherwise the planet would fly apart).
