Description: In the present consideration of the structural and particle properties of Saturn's rings, emphasis is given to spacecraft observations and an attempt is made to relate observed properties to favored causative processes. While the ring particles are primarily icy, there is evidence for compositional variation on both local and regional scales. Ring structure is generally dominated by collisional and gravitational dynamics. On the basis of such features as orbital resonances with various satellites, which drive spiral density and bending waves, the ring mass density and local vertical thickness can be determined.
