What if the earth had rings like Saturn?


This presentation shows us how Earth would look like if it had a ring like Saturn. The pictures are not only of Earth with a ring around it from space, but also pictures of how the sky would look like from cities like Paris, Rio De Janeiro, or Tehran. According to the video, the rings views from Earth’s surface were created according to the location’s latitude, northern or southern hemisphere, and the viewer’s orientation. The size of rings were calculated respecting the Roche limit for the Earth.
