Saturn's diameter at the equator is around 123,500km - without rings and around 364,900km with rings, from ring edge to ring edge. The rings start from 6,630km above the equator and extent out to 120,700km from the equator.
Saturn's rings vary in thickness, but they can be as thin as 30 feet to as thick as a mile. The main rings extend outward about 175,000 miles from the planet.
¡Saturn's rings spread a great distance with the inner D ring to about 6,700 kilometers from Saturn's atmosphere to the end of the E ring, 480,000 kilometers out.
From what i know, it is the same distance away, as the the moon is from the earth... about 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles) away.

Describe Saturns rings what are they made of?
Saturn's rings are made up of mainly ice particles ranging in size from tiny grains to boulders. Some rings also contain dust and rocky material. The rings are thought to have formed from the debris of comets, asteroids, or moons that were torn apart by Saturn's gravity.
Are Saturns rings bigger then Saturn?
No, Saturn itself is much larger than its rings. Saturn has a diameter of about 116,000 kilometers, while its rings extend out to a maximum distance of around 282,000 kilometers.
When will Saturns rings disappear?
Saturn's rings are expected to disappear in around 100 million years, due to factors such as material being pulled into the planet by gravity, the rings spreading out and becoming thinner, and collisions between particles causing them to break apart.
When we're saturns rings discovered?
