How many rings on Saturn?

Answer 1

one big! one

----------------

Saturn has Four main groups of rings and three smaller groups of rings. These groups are separated by gaps, called divisions. These 7 ring groups are made up of thousands of smaller rings. The exact number is not known.

Answer 2

The ring system of Saturn is divided into 5 major components: the G, F, A, B, and C rings, listed from outside to inside.

The F and G rings are thin and difficult to see, while the A, B, and C rings are broad and easily visible. The large gap between the A ring and and the B ring is called the Cassini division. The two Voyager spacecraft revealed that these rings contain thousands of ringlets, some no wider than 2 km.

The "rings" of Saturn are made up of dust, gravel, snow, ice, rocks, boulders. etc... They are not solid rings. The images taken by spacecraft show very many bands within the major components - hundreds (thousands) of bands and patches. Each is formed by complex gravitational interactions between the mother planet and the moons and components of the ring system itself.

The largest and most tenuous ring is the Phoebe ring, which is found 4 to 13 million kilometers from the planet. It is about 1.5 million kilometers thick and is associated with Phoebe, the outermost large moon of Saturn.
Depending on how far away you are, there are different amounts of rings around Saturn. With a weak telescope you can see 3 rings, powerful telescope show 8 rings, and a spacecraft that flew past showed there are over 30 rings.

Answer 3

Saturn has four main groups of rings and three fainter, narrower groups. These groups are separated by small gaps called divisions. Close up views of Saturn's rings by the Voyager spacecrafts showed that seven rings were actually made up of thousands of smaller ones. The exact number, however, is not known.

Answer 4

Saturn has seven main rings made up of countless smaller ringlets and gaps. These rings are mostly composed of ice, dust, and rocky particles, creating a beautiful display when viewed from Earth or spacecraft.

Answer 5

Dozens of rings have been named. Each ring is made up of millions or billions of particles held "in place" by gravitational forces of moons and "shepherds". The rings re not solid material.

Answer 6

Jupiter has three, the main, halo, and the gossamer.

Saturn has a lot.

Answer 7

There is 5 Rings of Saturn

Answer 8

50 more rings
