If you were floating above Saturn's rings, you would see countless icy particles ranging in size from dust grains to large boulders. The rings are made up of small pieces of ice and rock that orbit around Saturn, and when viewed from a distance, they appear as a solid surface or opaque disc. However, up close, you would be able to see the individual particles that make up the rings.
