Saturn is sometimes called the "Jewel of the Solar System" because its ring system looks like a crown. The rings are well known, but often the question "what are Saturn's rings made of" arises. Those rings are made up of dust, rock, and ice accumulated from passing comets, meteorite impacts on Saturn's moons, and the planet's gravity pulling material from the moons. Some of the material in the ring system are as small as grains of sand, others are larger than tall buildings, while a few are up to a kilometer across. Saturn is not the only planet with a ring system. All of the gas giants have rings, in fact. Saturn's rings stand out because they are the largest and most vivid. The rings have a thickness of up to one kilometer and they span up to 482,000 km from the center of the planet.
Many asteroids.
saturns ring are made out of ice and rock
space snowballs
7.4million miles
A planetary ring
2cm
dust
Saturns ring are rocks and meteors spinning around Saturn
saturns rings are made out of rocks ice and dust. it was formed by broken pieces of one of saturns moon. a long time ago one of saturns moon exploded then all of the pieces started orbiting Saturn
Yes, the inner ring is smaller so it goes faster
None. Saturn's rings are not made up of meteorites. See related question below.
No, the components of Saturn's rings are in the solid state.
no you are not able to stand on Saturn's rings because they are made up of asteroids and other objects unless you were standing on an asteroid
Saturns moons are usually very rocky and are covered in craters. This is because it is just outside a ring of asteroids which surround the sun.
Probably not; chances are that most of the ring particles are dust and ice.
