Why Are Saturn’s Rings Younger Than Saturn?

Saturn's rings, once thought to be ancient, may be relatively young, possibly formed from a moon named Chrysalis. Research using Cassini spacecraft data suggests they are 400 to 100 million years old. The rings are temporary, gradually falling into Saturn's atmosphere. Other planets also have rings, but they are less visible. Humanity is fortunate to witness Saturn's rings, which may disappear in 300 million years.
