Correct Transcript:

In the solar system, many planets have rings Saturn's rings are the most spectacular planetary rings. Consisting of different kinds of particles, these rings orbit the Sun. In 1610, Galileo was the first who spotted Saturn's rings. With his 20-power telescope, Galileo might have mistake Saturn's gaseous ring to surmise that Saturn was formed of one planet with two moons as satellites. In 1675, Giovanni Cassini determined that Saturn's "ring" was actually composed of sub-rings with gaps between them. So the number of Saturn's rings are more than 10. Other planets like Venus, Jupiter Neptune, Uranus also have rings but not as many as Saturn. Finally, Scientists concluded that these rings are formed as a result of gravitational field.
