What Are the Rings of Saturn Made Of?

Saturn’s rings are like a giant glittery necklace. Imagine millions of tiny ice pebbles and dust particles floating around Saturn, all moving in perfect harmony, kind of like how you might arrange your toys on the floor. These little pieces reflect sunlight, which is why we can see the beautiful rings from Earth.
