According to NASA cassini space craft, between which planet ring does Earth and Moon lie?
A
Jupiter
B
Saturn
C
Mars
D
Neptune
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The rings of Saturn present many variations of density, including interesting features like gaps and density waves. The most spectacular of these features is probably the Cassini Division that is a 4500 km-wide gap separating the A ring from the B ring.

Detailed explanation-2: -This global map of Saturn’s moon Enceladus was created using images taken during Cassini spacecraft flybys, with Voyager images filling in the gaps in Cassini’s coverage.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Cassini Division is a region 4, 800 km (3, 000 mi) in width between Saturn’s A Ring and B Ring. It was discovered in 1675 by Giovanni Cassini at the Paris Observatory using a refracting telescope that had a 2.5-inch objective lens with a 20-foot-long focal length and a 90x magnification.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cassini’s long mission enabled us to observe weather and seasonal changes on another planet. Cassini revealed Saturn’s moons to be unique worlds with their own stories to tell. Cassini showed us the complexity of Saturn’s rings and the dramatic processes operating within them.
