This is a normal post Why do rings imply no moon?
On one of the pictures (Ayers Rock) it's even on there too. Saturn has moons too. The moon is much further away than the rings are, so it's conceivable that weather patterns etc would still work. I have no idea what effect the rings would have and weather there really would be a massive shadown. Maybe some trickery of the light would allow us not to live in perpetual darkness in winter the further north we are along the equator.

This is a normal post There's a couple of reasons behind my thinking.
One is that the rings would likely as not be formed by the matter that'd otherwise have formed the moon.

The second is that, if there were rings and a moon, the rings probably wouldn't last, as the moon's gravity would destroy them. This would either be because the contents of the ring would be knocked out of orbit, either towards Earth or into space; or because the moon would accrete the material to itself.

This is a normal post Universe Sandbox, a nifty simulation
...says that if earth had rings like Saturn, they would be unstable with the moon.
This screen is from after only 21 years of the rings magically appearing.

The strange pattern is because the moon does not orbit the equator.
However, even if we did have a moon that went round the equator, the
rings would still break apart.

Things are strange, but not totally unstable.

This is a normal post 200 Years since the rings appeared and things are surprising stable

Camera moving, not the rings.
