The rings of Saturn are made up mostly of water ice. The size of the ice can range from size of dust to large boulders. The rings of Jupiter is mostly if not completely made up of dust particles. The rings of Neptune is mostly dust with some organic material mixed in with it. The rings of Uranus seem to have a bit of everything in them, but nothing is known for sure as of right now.

What are uranus the planet rings made of?

The rings around Uranus are very, very dark - much darker than Saturn's rings or Jupiter's rings. So we can rule out that they are made of ice or normal rock, which would be expected to be much brighter. The rings of Uranus may be composed of water ice mixed with some unknown organic material. The particles in the rings of Uranus are large compared to the rings around other planets. The particle sizes range from a little less than one foot all the way up to 60 to 70 feet. There is probably dust in at least some of the rings, but there is very little of it.
