Rings of Saturn

The rings of Saturn are the most extensive ring system of any planet in the Solar System . They consist of countless small particles, ranging from μm to m in size, [1] that orbit about Saturn . The ring particles are made almost entirely of water ice, with a trace component of rocky material . There is still no consensus as to their mechanism of formation; some features of the rings suggest a relatively recent origin, but theoretical models indicate they are likely to have formed early in the Solar System's history.

The rings of Saturn are a system of planetary rings around the planet Saturn . They consist of countless small particles, ranging in size from microns to meters , that form clumps that in turn orbit about Saturn. The ring particles are made almost entirely of water ice , with some contamination from dust and other chemicals.
