Jupiter’s Ring and Torus

Jupiter’s Ring and Torus
 Cutaway diagram of Jupiter’s rings, which are generated from debris blasted off the inner moons Adrastea, Metis, Amalthea, and
Thebe. (b) A portion of Jupiter’s faint ring system, photographed by the New Horizons spacecraft heading to Pluto. The outer three bright
rings are composed of pebble- to rock-sized fragments. The rest is mostly dust. The brightest portion of the ring is about 6000 km wide.
While the outer edge of the ring is sharply defined, the inner edge is somewhat fuzzy. A tenuous sheet of material extends from the ring’s
inner edge all the way down to the planet’s cloud tops.
