Saturn is known for having the most prominent and spectacular ring system in the solar system. These rings are made up of ice and rock particles that vary in size, ranging from tiny grains to enormous boulders. The rings stretch out thousands of kilometers from the planet but are relatively thin, only about 10 meters thick in some places. The beauty and complexity of Saturn's rings have captivated astronomers and space enthusiasts alike, and they are one of the primary reasons why Saturn is often called the "jewel of the solar system."
