Saturn is the most famous planet with beautiful and colorful rings that can be seen through telescopes. Other gas giant planets like Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune also have less visible ring systems too. The size and shape of planetary rings vary from flattened pancake-like shapes to more irregular ones which makes them fascinating for astronomers who study them using powerful tools available on orbiting spacecrafts
