Best Answer

the rim of the frisbee pushes the airstream under the frisbee creating lift and the small ridges u probably see are made to create turbulence which balances with the airstream that goes over the top of the frisbee it. this turbulence allows the air to flow right across the top of the frisbee making the air flow over the top of the frisbee faster then the air flow underneath it. this allows the frisbee to fly farther and keep its speed and yeah im righting a whole report on frisbees and ive studied how frisbees work and why their built the way they are for a long time so this answer is completely write!

The only difference it makes it how you grip the disc, which can affect its distance.

Yes, they stabilize it. In fact, those rings were patented, so for many years, only a Wham-O brand Frisbee had them. However, the patent has expired, so other brands now have the rings.
