Why are the rings of Saturn made up of large rocks?
There are blocks of ice there too! (maybe from comets that have been captured) The rings are probably debris from impacts between asteroids and the moons of Saturn with the possibility that some moons have been entirely torn apart by impacts or gravitational pull from the mother planet and other moons.
What are Saturn's rings made up of and where are they found?
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'.

Why are the rings of each gas giant planet closer to the planet than its large moons are?
The rings are made up of small debree and therefor are on a tight close orbit around the planet. The large moons are the opposite because they are large and therefor on a much further out orbit. The sun has a gravitational pull on all things in our solar system and its pull is much larger on the moon and it keeps it further away from the sun.
What differences do the four outer planets have?
The inner planets are Rocky Terrestrial. The outer planets are Gaseous.None of the inner planets have rings. All outer planets have rings.NOTES:Jupiter - Largest planet ( spins quickly on its axis ). Has a red spot which is a huge storm that is 3x the size of Earth. Has 63 moons.Saturn - 2nd biggest planet. Lightest planet ( if enough water saturn could float in it ). Beautiful rings ( saturns rings are made of moons that were smashed because of saturns gravity. Has 62 moons.Uranus - Axis is at 97 degrees. Which it means it is rotating on its side. Has 24 moons.Neptune - One Neptune year lasts 165 Earth years!Like Jupiter, Neptune has a dark spot caused by a storm. Neptune's spot is smaller than Jupiter's -- it is only about the size of the planet earth. Has 13 moons.
