  2. Saturn's Rings Do you have a favorite planet? Which one is it? It might be the gas giant Jupiter, or it could be red, rocky Mars. If your favorite is Saturn, however, then you are in for a treat as we’re going to have a look at this planet - but rather than talking about this gaseous world as a whole, we’re going to focus on one of its very important and most obvious features - its rings. These unusual features, which circle the planet like hula hoops, might be the reason why it’s your favorite - they certainly make Saturn stand out from the crowd and they are also very beautiful. Some astronomers say that it makes Saturn look like it’s got ears - at least, depending on what angle the rings are tilted towards the Earth - maybe you disagree and think that Saturn looks like a cup with two handles on either side!
