are saturns rings soild disks
Though they appear as solid disks from far away (and are often illustrated as such), Saturn’s rings are actually not solid disks. Saturn’s rings are composed of billions and billions of particles of rock, dust and ice. Some of these particles are the size of a grain of sand; others may be larger than a house.
Where did these particles come from? Astronomers believe that the particles resulted from comets, asteroids and other moons being torn apart by the planet’s strong gravity. Subsequently the remnant pieces are added to the orbiting rings of particles.
