Saturn's rings are made up of dust and rock in space. Each and every fragment is

in a gravitational orbit of the planet, so in a sense, one might say that Saturn has

billions of 'moons'.

No. Saturns rings are made of small meteors. No one can live on meteors because they do not have atmospheres. So far the only planet that can hold life is Earth, because it's atmosphere was designed for humans to breath in it. Care bears do NOT live on Saturn's rings. Don't believe everything you see on tv.

What are Saturns ring made out of?

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.

How the rings of Saturn are numbered what do they consist of?
