Will there be a ring in Mars's future?

The video discusses the future of Mars, which is expected to have rings formed from its moon Phobos. Phobos is slowly spiraling towards Mars and will eventually reach the Roche limit, where Mars's gravity will tear it apart. The debris will form rings around Mars, lasting about 100 million years. Phobos's weak, carbon-rich composition makes it susceptible to disintegration. The video also explains tidal forces and their role in ring formation, using Phobos's Stickney crater to analyze its structural integrity.
