Temperatures at the equator are very high but there is one single point on the equator where youâll find snow. The highest point on the equator is 4,690m, on the south slopes of VolcÃ¡n Cayambe in Ecuador, so in theory, you could go skiing on the equator. (Please let me in on your plans if you decide to go)
Thanks in advance for your assistance. All of the giant planets in our solar system have rings: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter's ring is thin and dark, and cannot be seen from Earth. Saturn's rings are the most magnificent; they are bright, wide, and colorful. Uranus has nine dark rings around it, and Neptune's rings are also dark, but contain a few bright arcs.
Yes, Uranus has 9 brighter rings as well as several fainter rings. Some of the larger rings are surrounded by belts of fine dust. The outermost ring is made up of ice boulders several feet across. The other rings are made up mainly of icy chunks darkened by rocks. The rings are thin, narrow, and dark compared to the rings of other planets. They are actually so dark that they reflect about as much light as charcoal. The rings may have been formed by the break up of a small moon.
