    This asteroid's orbit keeps it near the Earth, but not orbiting it in the usual sense. When analyzing its orbit from the perspective of different bodies, the presumed quasi-satellite does seem to have a more stable location near the Earth The orbit of 2020 CD 3 around the Earth. The white band is the orbit of the Moon.

  3. Ring system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_system

    This ring system may have originated from a large asteroid that passed by Earth at this time and had a significant amount of debris stripped by Earth's gravitational pull, forming a ring system. Evidence for this ring comes from impact craters from the Ordovician meteor event appearing to cluster in a distinctive band around the Earth's equator ...

  4. Rings of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Earth

    The ring was first formally proposed after 21 impact craters from the meteor event were found to be located along a straight band around the Earth's equator. [10] [11] Andrew G. Tomkins, [9] Erin L. Martin [9] and Peter A. Cawood, [9] working with Monash University, released a study in September 2024 that gave evidence on the existence of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_satellite

    The giant planets have extensive systems of natural satellites, including half a dozen comparable in size to Earth's Moon: the four Galilean moons, Saturn's Titan, and Neptune's Triton. Saturn has an additional six mid-sized natural satellites massive enough to have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium , and Uranus has five.

    Earth may have had a ring made up of a broken asteroid over 400 million years ago, a study finds. The Saturn-like feature could explain a climate shift at the time.

    A Search for Objects near the Earth–Moon Lagrangian Points, by Francisco Valdes and Robert A. Freitas Jr., did not find any objects at the Earth–Moon or Earth–Sun lagrange points, but this survey was not sensitive to diffuse clouds. Roach, J. R. (January 1975).

    Some moons, minor planets and comets of the Solar System to scale (major planets not to scale) Selected moons, with Earth to scale. Nineteen moons are large enough to be round, and two, Titan and Triton, have substantial atmospheres The number of moons discovered in each year until November 2019

  9. Regular moon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_moon

    Regular moons which orbit near or within a ring system can gravitationally interact with nearby material, either confining material into narrow ringlets or clearing out gaps within a ring in a process known as 'shepherding'. Shepherd moons may also act as a direct source of ring material ejected from impacts.
