They orbit at different radii (radiuses) around the planet. It’s hard to imagine how vast and empty space is. Suffice to say that even the rings around a planet are mostly empty.

It’s a common theory that the rings are actually moons that did collide with each other once upon a time, and the result is the scattering of its remnants.
