Why Saturn doesn't collide as it has a ring around it?
Answers
Answer:
Various theories have been proposed for the ring's origin. If the planet got them later in life, the rings could have formed when small, icy moons in orbit around Saturn collided, perhaps because their orbits were perturbed by a gravitational tug from a passing asteroid or comet
Answer:
Oddly shaped gaps found in Saturn's rings hint at the existence of long sought "moonlets" and support the theory that the rings are the broken remains of an icy moon shattered long ago in a violent collision.Science ABC

How Did Saturn Get Its Rings? Akash Peshin 2 Years Ago
Someone once told me that when God created Saturn, he was so delighted with it that he decided to put a ring on it. However, that same someone also believed that a pigeon is just a mouse with wings. The former is outright false (Welcome to ScienceABC), while the latter is still being debated in some intellectual circles. So how did those rings on Saturn come into existence? Let’s find out.
Saturn is the second-largest planet in our solar system. It is so large, in fact, that it could hold almost 700 Earths inside it. It also has a remarkably beautiful set of rings around it. Due to its large size and distinct rings, Saturn can be quite easily identified by stargazers and astronomers alike. Furthermore, Saturn isn’t the only planet with rings. Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are also decorated with rings, but they aren’t as dense or bright as Saturn’s.Further observation showed him that the rings tended to change shape or disappear altogether due to their inclination and line of sight with respect to our planet.
