Other evidence shows rings A to C have a broad range of particle sizes, up to m across. The dense main rings extend from 7,000 km (4,300 mi) to 80,000 km (50,000 mi) away from Saturn's equator, whose radius is 60,300 km (37,500 mi) (see Major subdivisions).
Nov 8, 2017 · Composition and structure. Saturn's rings are made up of billions of particles ranging from grains of sand to mountain-size chunks. Composed predominantly of water-ice, the rings also draw...
Jul 18, 2013 · The Width of Saturn’s Rings. The rings of Saturn are composed of billions of icy particles ranging in size from tiny grains to kilometres across. There are 14 major divisions in Saturn’s rings 12 rings and 2 gaps these are the D Ring, C Ring, B Ring, Cassini Division, A Ring, Roche Division, F Ring, Janus/Epimetheus Ring, G Ring, Methone ...
Sep 13, 2022 · Saturn has a diameter of 72,400 miles (116,460 kilometres), and the rings have a diameter of over 170,000 (270,000 kilometres), which is over twice the size of Saturn itself. However, this size represents all of Saturn’s rings together, and when viewed individually, their sizes vary.
Answer: The area of a ring with an inner radius of r and an outer radius of R is given by A = π (R2 – r2) and its volume for a thickness of h is just V = π (R2-r2)h. For Saturn’s rings we have an inner radius r = 60300km+7000km =67300 km and an outer radius of R = 60300km+80000km = 140,300 km, and a volume of V = 3.14 ((140300)2 –

Diameter (distance across a ring): We typically measure distances in Saturn radii, where 1 Saturn radius is 60,268 kilometers = 37,449 miles. (For comparison, the radius of the Earth is about 6378 kilometers = 3963 miles.)
