No one knows how old Saturn’s rings are | solar system | astronomy | space

The rings of Saturn are the most extensive ring system of any planet in the Solar System. They consist of countless small particles, ranging in size from micrometers to meters, that orbit around Saturn. The ring particles are made almost entirely of water ice, with a trace component of rocky material.

Astronomy studies planets, the solar system, galaxies, stars, nebulae, comets, asteroids, black holes, quasars and meteors among many objects in the universe or cosmos. Similarly cosmology studies the birth, existence and end of the universe. astrophysics uses the laws of physics and chemistry to investigate the cosmos and how we fit into it.

Our solar system consists of the planets mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune. Beyond the planets in our solar system there are dwarf planets like pluto, ceres, eris, humea, makemake. The solar system also has comets, asteroid belt, kuiper belt, multiple moons or natural satellites.
