The planet in our solar system known for its rings is Saturn. Saturn's rings are a stunning feature, composed mainly of ice particles, with smaller amounts of rock and dust. The rings extend over 175,000 miles from the planet but are surprisingly thin, measuring only about 30 feet in thickness. Formed from the remnants of moons, comets, or asteroids that disintegrated due to Saturn's gravitational influence, the rings are divided into several sections, each with distinct characteristics. Saturn is often referred to as the jewel of the solar system due to the beauty of its ring system.
