∙ 7y agoThe ring system of Saturn is divided into 5 major components: the G, F, A, B, and C rings, listed from outside to inside.
The F and G rings are thin and difficult to see, while the A, B, and C rings are broad and easily visible. The large gap between the A ring and and the B ring is called the Cassini division. The two Voyager spacecraft revealed that these rings contain thousands of ringlets, some no wider than 2 km.
The "rings" of Saturn are made up of dust, gravel, snow, ice, rocks, boulders. etc... They are not solid rings. The images taken by spacecraft show very many bands within the major components - hundreds (thousands) of bands and patches. Each is formed by complex gravitational interactions between the mother planet and the moons and components of the ring system itself.
The largest and most tenuous ring is the Phoebe ring, which is found 4 to 13 million kilometers from the planet. It is about 1.5 million kilometers thick and is associated with Phoebe, the outermost large moon of Saturn.
Depending on how far away you are, there are different amounts of rings around Saturn. With a weak telescope you can see 3 rings, powerful telescope show 8 rings, and a spacecraft that flew past showed there are over 30 rings.

Close up views of Saturn's rings by the Voyager spacecrafts showed that seven rings were actually made up of thousands of smaller ones. The exact number, however, is not known.
