Analogous to the centrifugal anomaly the Coriolis anomaly is a fictitious anomaly which disappears in stationary systems for both observers and the objects being observed. However, in systems undergoing rotationary motions both centrifugal and Coriolis anomalies appear.

Nonetheless, the Coriolis anomaly can be used to justify why the rings of planet Saturn are confined thinly along its equatorial plane and are not scattered randomly or haphazardly around the planet since the rings are made of relatively tiny ice and dust particles made to orbit the planet by its gravitational field although stationary orbits are allowed by celestial mechanics.
