Abstract

One of the most famous structures in our solar system, Saturn's rings, is slowly eroding, which has an immense effect on the planet's magnetic field and moons. This research intention was to explore the processes of ring erosion, ring material accumulation on the inner moons, and the effects on Saturn's magnetic field. By applying image analysis methods, computational modeling, and data from NASA's Cassini mission, we investigated the connection between ring erosion and modifications to Saturn's system's physical properties. Using high-resolution photos of Saturn's rings, the technique looked for changes in color composition that might be signs of material loss. The pace of ring erosion and its effects on the mass of Saturn's inner moons and magnetic field were modeled mathematically. The findings showed a linear rise in inner moon mass with time connected to the rings' degradation. Thus, when the rings disintegrated, it was discovered that Saturn's magnetic field weakened linearly. The study shows that Saturn's rings are gradually disintegrating causing the planet's magnetic field strength to weaken and the mass of its inner moons to grow. These results demonstrate the interdependence of Saturn's magnetic field erosion process, moons, and rings. It might affect the planet's evolution in the long run. Long-term ring monitoring, more research on ring-moon interactions, and an inspection of magnetic field changes are among the recommendations.
