Abstract

The current state of knowledge of Saturn's rings is reviewed. A brief historical introduction is given, followed by a discussion of the radial profile of the rings, ring dynamics, features without azimuthal symmetry, ring particle size distribution, and the physical properties of ring particles. The direction for future analysis and observation is considered.
