here is nebel's reply lifted from the alternativee theories forum
Well, I thought at least you would be prompted to substantiate your perhaps correct answer with some reason, some written refutation. because fact is :
The band around the equator of Jupiter, and the Ring region of Saturn spend more time in the sunlight, than any other, and it is not because of the angle of incidence only, but because it is at least twice longer in the warming sunshine than the colder night side.
This is called an alternative theory, I was granted a US patent of a simpler version of this in 1987 by the way, so the examiner agreed that at least as a theory it has merit, but it actually works, carries a name (not mine) and can be looked up on Wiki.
The alternate, but perhaps incorrect alternate theory here is, that
The rings of Saturn, the bands on Jupiter are in a small way triggered or influenced by the enhanced, prolonged exposure at the equator region.
