Do gas giants have rings made of ice and dust?
Yes, gas giants like Saturn have rings made of ice and dust particles. These rings are composed of chunks of ice and rock ranging in size from small particles to several meters in diameter, and they orbit the planet in a thin, flat disk.
What are Jupiters moons made of?
You may think Saturn is the only planet with rings. It is not! Jupiter has rings, too. They aren't as easy to see as Saturn's, but they ARE there. Saturns rings are made of ice and are very bright. Jupiter's rings are dark. They are made of tiny pieces of dust. Jupiter's rings were discovered by the Voyager Spacecraft in 1979. The Galileo spacecraft helped us figure out how Jupiter's rings are made. Meteors that hit some of Jupiter's moons knock dust into orbit around Jupiter. That dust forms the rings. Jupiter has three rings. They are called the Halo Ring, the Main Ring, and the Gossamer Ring.

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

They consist of small particles of ice and rock ranging in size from dust grains to large boulders. These particles orbit Saturn and are held in place by the planet's gravity.
