Best Answer

Its moons and its rings.

The planet Saturn has 62 known moons and a number of "moonlets" within its large and visible system of rings. The rings form a relatively flat discontinuous disk that orbits the equator of Saturn, at a distance from about 65000 to 170000 kilometers (40,000 to 105,000 miles). The rings may vary in thickness from as little as 3 meters to a maximum of around 300 meters. When viewed edge-on from Earth, they can be nearly invisible.
