The dynamics of a cloud of fragments during the collisional destruction of friable particles in the gravitational field of a central body is analyzed in the framework of the four-body problem. It is shown that the efficiency of the collisional destruction of particles increases considerably near the planet, determining the existence of planetary rings. An upper density limit of 0.2-0.3 g/cu cm is obtained for the material in the Saturn rings.
