The rings are made of rock and ice. It is thought that in the past, a moon may have collided with Saturn, and the rings are the frozen fragments of the moon caught up on Saturns orbit. Saturn spins quickly - 10 hours is one day. Hence the debris is caught up and forms the rings. The rings are frozen - it is minus 180 degrees on Saturn during both night and day.
