gaps between Saturn’s rings. The most famous ring gap is called the Cassini Division‚ which separate the A and B groups of rings. The origin of the rings is still unknown‚ but scientists believe that the rings were created from debris from shattered moons‚ asteroids‚ or comets (space.com). The rings are made up of ice (frozen water) and rocky particles. Saturn’s rings are 250‚000 kilometers in diameter‚ but‚ they are very thin. The rings
