Quick Answer
Saturn has the most extensive and complex ring system, with thousands of ringlets and gaps. Its main rings are labeled A, B, C, D, E, F and G.
The Full Story
Saturn’s rings are not a single flat band but a complex system of countless particles arranged into many ringlets and gaps. The main named rings are designated A through G, and detailed observations have shown that each contains fine structures. Spacecraft such as Cassini revealed waves, shepherd moons, and sharp edges within the rings. This makes Saturn’s ring system the most complex and best studied in the Solar System.
