jupiters rings are bigger than Saturns.

Saturn appears to have purple rings in some pictures from the Cassini space craft. However, what this questioner does not realise is that these were false-colour images! The apparently purple rings were made up of particles captured by radio waves in the 13 cm wavelength.
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.
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.
