The area of Saturn's rings is almost 1000 times the surface ar | Dark Space
The area of Saturn's rings is almost 1000 times the surface area of the Moon. But at the same time, the mass of the Moon is 5,000 times the mass of Saturn's rings. This discrepancy appears due to the small thickness of the rings - in some places they are no thicker than 10 meters.
The animation shows the number of rings of Saturn, the total mass of which would be equal to the mass of the Moon.
