Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Saturn has the most spectacular ring system, with seven rings and several gaps and divisions between them.
Detailed explanation-2: -The seven main rings are labeled in the order in which they were discovered. From the planet outward, they are D, C, B, A, F, G and E. The D ring is very faint and closest to Saturn. The main rings are A, B and C.
Detailed explanation-3: -Saturn, which has by far the largest ring system, was known to have rings for a long time. It was not until the 1970s that rings were discovered around the other gas planets. The rings around Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune are much smaller, darker, and fainter than the rings of Saturn.
