saturn rings

Saturn's rings are vast, thin bands of ice and rock particles orbiting the planet. They range in size from tiny grains to larger chunks, all kept in place by Saturn’s gravity. The rings are divided into several main sections, each with distinct characteristics, and are continuously shaped by gravitational interactions with nearby moons. These rings are not solid but a collection of countless particles, reflecting sunlight and creating the striking appearance we see from afar. They formed either from remnants of past moons or captured comets, providing valuable clues to the planet’s history.
