Best Answers

Rings of Saturn says, "Based on Voyager observations, the total mass of the rings was estimated to be about 3 x 10^19 kg. This is a small fraction of the total mass of Saturn (about 50 ppb) and is just a little less than the moon Mimas. read more

So Saturn's rings may be as massive as 9 x 10^19 kg. Earth 's mass is 5.97219×10^24 kg. So Earth's mass is about 100,000 times the mass of Saturn's rings. read more

The mass of Saturn's rings is estimated to be around 10^19 kg. The mass of the water in Earth's oceans is roughly 100 times that, so there is likely significantly more water on Earth than in Saturn's rings. read more
