Detailed explanation-2: -The particles in Saturn’s rings are composed primarily of water ice and range in size from microns to tens of meters. The rings show a tremendous amount of structure on all scales; some of this structure is related to gravitational interactions with Saturn’s many moons, but much of it remains unexplained.
