Appearance

Saturn has rings around it but it not the only one with ring there are other planets to, Neptune, Uranus. It’s rings are made out of dust and ice and rock the ring. As planets age they become darker and cooler.

58,232 km

Saturn's rings are about 175,000 miles (282,000 km) across, but only about 3,200 feet (~1 km) thick. If you had a model of Saturn that was a meter stick wide (3 feet), its rings would be about 10,000 times

thinner than a razor blade! Saturn and its rings would just fit in the distance between Earth and the Moon.
