material from comets that have passed through Saturn's atmosphere
solid bands of sand and dust that formed from the start of the universe
The most accurate description of the make-up of Saturn's rings among the options provided is:
dust, rock, and ice particles that orbit due to Saturn's gravity
Saturn's rings consist predominantly of countless small particles that range in size from micrometers to meters and are composed mainly of water ice, with some dust and rocky material mixed in. These particles are held in orbit around Saturn by the planet's gravity. The other options include inaccuracies about the composition and origin of the rings.
