There are three theories on how Saturn got its rings:
1. Gravitational disruption of satellites: Saturn's gravitational pull tears anything apart that gets too close, and the fragments become part of the ring system.
2. Fragmentation of moons: moons of Saturn collide with each other and other bolides and break up, the fragments of which form Saturn's rings.
3. Accretionary remnant: rings are formed from primordial debris that was not accreted to form Saturn initially.

Are Saturns rings bigger then Saturn?
No, Saturn itself is much larger than its rings. Saturn has a diameter of about 116,000 kilometers, while its rings extend out to a maximum distance of around 282,000 kilometers.
When will Saturns rings disappear?
Saturn's rings are expected to disappear in around 100 million years, due to factors such as material being pulled into the planet by gravity, the rings spreading out and becoming thinner, and collisions between particles causing them to break apart.
Why do saturns rings appear and disappear?
Twice in every orbital rotation of Saturn, its rings appear edge-on to us and become invisible. That happens about every 15 years.

Saturn's rings are made of dust, ice, and rock.
