The rings of Saturn are one of the most distinct planetary features in the solar system. They have a diameter of 270,000 km, but they are astonishingly thin, with a thickness of only 100 meters. The rings are made up of many particles of rock and dust and lie within what is known as the Roche limit, the radius within which a large moon would be torn apart by the great tides that Saturn would exert upon it. These tidal forces also prevent the particles in the rings from agglomerating into a larger body.
