Scientific paper

The resonance theory is discussed with respect to the solar system with a view to showing that every triad of successive planets in the solar system follows Laplace's resonance relation. With rings now known to exist around three of the four major planets, scientists have begun to speculate about the possible existence of ring structure and one or two small planets going around the sun itself. It is also believed that the ring systems may exist around the planets Neptune and Mars. An attempt is made to provide a basis to these beliefs using Laplace's resonance relation. The triads of successive innermost objects (rings and/or satellites) in the satellite systems of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus are also shown to follow Laplace's resonance relation.
