"How Many Rings does Saturn Have?
The most difficult question to answer about Saturn is how many rings does Saturn have? There are over more than a dozen rings and gaps with the rings. The two densest parts of the rings are named as A and B rings. They are separated by the Cassini Division followed by the C ring. These 3 main rings are followed by smaller and dusty rings; the D ring, G ring and E ring. There is an F ring that is present just outside the A ring.
Thus, by adding up the 3 main rings and the 5 dusty rings we get 8 rings as the answer to our question, how many rings does Saturn have. But, if we add up the Cassini Division we get 9 rings as the answer. And that's not the only answer. There are other rings around Saturn, the Janus Ring, the Methone Ring Arc, the Anthe Ring Arc and the Pallene Ring. You also have the Roche Division. So, now we have the 12 rings plus 2 divisions.
The various rings have divisions and gaps within them. These gaps bring the count to more than 30. Few of these are the Encke Gap, the Huygens Gap, the Dawes Gap, etc. Thus, if you look at Saturn you will be able to see 3 rings. With a very powerful telescope you will be able to sight 8 rings. And with the special spacecraft like Cassini, you will be able to count and view 30 rings.
I hope this answers your question, how many rings does Saturn have. Saturn rings are so large that they won't be able to fit the space between Earth and the Moon. They have a diameter of about 275,000 kilometers that is just a little less than the distance between Earth and Moon. The B ring have radial spokes of dust-sized material. These materials change their appearance every time they appear. They change and disappear frequently. The densest ring is the E ring, which is at the orbit of Enceladus. You can see light shining through the rings when Saturn passes in front of a star. I hope this article has shed some light on Saturn and the Saturn Rings. Saturn rings are truly the jewels of the solar system.

Ahhh, I see. I'm supposed to use ----quote---- instead of " " . Ah well. Hope my answer helped anyway.
Thanks. Always glad to help.
Upon reading the Copying and Pasting on Mahalo page, I discovered that I did, in fact, cite properly. I gave an answer in the first paragraph, in my own words, then used quotation marks to enclose the citation. They are in there, and that entire thing was cited in order to add support to the first paragraph (the paragraph I wrote).
Furthermore, that citation was duly recorded in my sources, as well.
I might possibly be missing something here, but it seems to me that I followed proper protocol here.
Pardon me, I'm not trying to argue. I'm just trying to figure out what exactly I did wrong so that I can avoid making that mistake in the future.
I voted no best answer here because this has been copy and pasted from your source.
We would like to hear this in your own words.. even if the person who answered this question is Batul Nafisa Baxamusa this answer is still duplicate copy and pasted content and a no no here at Mahalo Answers.
