Jupiter's rings are probably colder than Saturn's more prominent ones, given the cold of space. One ESA (Cassini) measurement for Saturn was from -163°C for the inner ring, -203°C for the center rings, and -183°C for the outer rings.

The temperature within Saturn's rings is the same as the temperature of space around it - a couple of hundred degrees below zero Celcius. One ESA (Cassini) measurement for Saturn was -163°C for the inner ring, -203°C for the center rings, and -183°C for the outer rings.

Saturn's rings are chunks of frozen water and methane spread out in a disc around the planet. The particles range in size from a few inches to several yards (meters) across and may be the shattered remains of an icy planetoid torn apart by Saturn's gravity.
