    Saturn has 146 moons and the largest, Titan, is 50% larger than ours, but also farther away from the planet.

        Saturn’s rings are quite temporary on the time scale that planets exist at. They might only have been formed in a collision between moons 100 million years ago, and will most likely disappear in some 100 million years. This is a very brief period compared to the age of the planet.

        So rings are likely quite an unstable formation either way.
