Saturn's rings are only about 10 metres thick despite spanning 282,000km
Saturn's ring system stretches nearly 282,000km from end to end — enough to fit 22 Earths side by side. Yet the rings are on average only 10 metres thick. If shrunk to the size of a football pitch, the rings would be thinner than a sheet of paper.
