Saturn's diameter at the equator is around 123,500km - without rings and around 364,900km with rings, from ring edge to ring edge. The rings start from 6,630km above the equator and extent out to 120,700km from the equator.
¡Saturn's rings spread a great distance with the inner D ring to about 6,700 kilometers from Saturn's atmosphere to the end of the E ring, 480,000 kilometers out.
From what i know, it is the same distance away, as the the moon is from the earth... about 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles) away.
About 175,000 miles.
no
jupiters rings are bigger than Saturns.
got fat
A planetary ring
Saturn's rings seem to disappear when we view them edge-on. The rings are so thin that at our distance we cannot see them at this angle.
A long time ago
Around Saturns equatorial diameter, as has to be the case

When the Voyager passed by.
that is extremely awesome

They are not regenerated. The rings are generated by the gravity of the planet and the inertia of the object.

Saturn's rings go 30,000 miles per hour.
