there are two things that prevent that one sounds like it would make them crash
they are constantly being pulled in to the planet due to gravitational pull which according to E=mc² actually pushes on the planet due to time and light bending around the object but that's another explanation
BUT heres the key
the rotation of the planet and rings (which are clouds made up of small asteroids and pieces of ice) also rotate along with the planet which slings them outward
now what this does is pushes them until they find their equilibrium that stabilizes them, much like the way the moon revolves the earth stabilizing it on its axis controlling the climate of the earth
i can explain the rings as a skydiver, the skydiver falls until the force of gravity is canceled out by the friction of wind resistance but in the case of the rings the force of gravity is nuled out by the force of the rotation throwing out the rings
long story short, no they will never collide unless Saturn cracks and splits in half, and i don't think Darth Vader is going to be shooting it with his death star any time soon.
No. All the planets in our solar system have stable orbits that do not bring them anywehre near collision.
no
jupiters rings are bigger than Saturns.
Saturn's rings go 30,000 miles per hour.
Saturn's rings seem to disappear when we view them edge-on. The rings are so thin that at our distance we cannot see them at this angle.
saturns rings are made up of dust, ice, and chunks of rock :-)
no
No , because they will always be orbiting Saturn and it is impossible for them to collide because if you touch them.. They break into tiny little bits of pieces. - Julie ; xo

No, the components of Saturn's rings are in the solid state.
Saturn's rings are made of dust, ice, and rock.
Saturns rings make it unique

There are moons in Saturn's rings, they are called shepherd moons because they help keep the rings intact.
Saturns rings.
its called the rings of Saturn similar to the crippler crossface
