Yes, Saturn has many more rings than Jupiter.

Jupiter only has 4 rings. Saturn's rings, however, have not bee officially counted.

There are seven groups of rings. There are four main groups and three fainter groups.

Inside every group there is an unknown number of rings orbiting the planet.

There are many theories of the number of Saturn's rings, ranging from 30 to under 1,000.

It's believed that the rings of Saturn are caused by a moon which lost its icy shell as it orbited the planet, getting closer to it, eventually crashing into Saturn.
