Saturns ring are rocks and meteors spinning around Saturn
7.4million miles

Yes, the inner ring is smaller so it goes faster
No, the components of Saturn's rings are in the solid state.
The outer edge of Saturn's rings has the greatest rotational speed as it orbits the planet faster due to its larger circumference compared to the inner rings.
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.
Saturn's nickname is Lord of The Rings it is named that because it has rings around the planet and they are visible unlike Uranus and Neptune.
A planet that has an orbiting ring around it is saturn although there are many other planets with rings saturn has the largest ring!! Fun fact jupiter also has a ring but its to clear to see it in any pictures!
Saturn's rings are not located in the middle, but they encircle the planet. They are made up of countless particles of ice and rock, believed to be remnants of comets, asteroids, or moons that broke apart. The rings are located around Saturn's equator due to the planet's gravitational forces and the way they interact with the debris.
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.
