GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Adorned with thousands of beautiful ringlets, Saturn is unique among the planets. It is not the only planet to have rings – made of chunks of ice and rock – but none are as spectacular or as complicated as Saturn’s. Like fellow gas giant Jupiter, Saturn is a massive ball made mostly of hydrogen and helium.

Detailed explanation-2: -First spotted by astronomer Galileo in 1610, Saturn’s rings mainly consist of rocks and ice that come in a variety of sizes. These rings give Saturn an appearance unlike anything else in the Solar System-but it’s not the only planet that has such rings. As NASA explains, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune also have rings.

Detailed explanation-3: -The outermost ring, easily seen with Earth-based telescopes, is the A ring. The Cassini Division is the largest gap in the rings and separates the B ring from the A ring. Just outside the A ring is the narrow F ring, shepherded by tiny moons, Pandora and Prometheus. Beyond that are two much fainter rings named G and E.

Detailed explanation-4: -It’s really cold that far away from the Sun. So, these chemicals might be frozen or trapped in crystals of ice. Because of this, Uranus and Neptune are called “ice giants."
