Rings of Saturn🪐😇

The rings we see on Saturn are made of billions of ice fragments and space rocks of different sizes. Some are like grains of sand. Others are the size of a house.

Surrounding the planet is a set of 7 main rings with space in between. Each one spins at a different speed. Scientists don't know the exact origin of the rings, but one hypothesis is that they are the remains of comets, asteroids, or moons that collided and collided, causing the fragments to go into orbit around Saturn.

Saturn's 82 natural moons help keep the rings in orbit, preventing them from expanding violently into space.
