Earth Had Rings Like Saturn 466 Million Years in the Past Says Analysis


How is it if beautiful rings are floating all around our earth as they appear around the planet Saturn. According to scientists, this has happened before. A new research has claimed that there must have been a ring system around our Earth at some time as it appears around the planet Saturn. It must have been about 46.6 million years ago. So how would the earth rings look? Let’s know what the report tells about this.

Saturn is currently a planet in the solar system, beautiful rings are found all around. But a new research has been published in Earth and Planetary Science letters that imagine having rings ie rings around the earth. These rings must have been present about 46.6 million years ago. Where would these rings come from, and where did you go?

Actually, research has said that he must have been a huge meteorite. It has been called Ordovician has an effect on. In which a large number of meteors will fall from the sky to the earth together. Study writer Andy Tomkins, Monash University, has studied the position of 21 asteroid impact cribters (pits made of arsteroid). It is a matter of Ordovician period. What the researcher found was surprising. All these craters were present on the equator within 30 degrees. While 70 percent of the land of the Earth’s surface remained separate from the region.

The researcher team estimated that a large asteroid must have come very close to the Earth which would have crossed its Roche prohibit. Because of this, Esteroid will be broken into lots of small pieces. These small pieces must have spread around the Earth’s orbit. Gradually, over time, these pieces must have fallen to the surface again from which these craters will be made.

This new research seems to take the boundaries of geology far more. Researchers believe that this ring system would have also affected the climate of the earth as they would have stopped the sunlight from their gathering and would have shaded in one area on the earth. The reason for this will be a round of cold here which is called Hiranesian Icehouse. This was a period in which the earth must have been the most cold in the last 50 million years.
