Oh didn't know it was THAT spread out. How packed would saturn's rings be ?

Very packed - so packed that although the rings are just 10-100m thick, they block most light going though them
run fact edit: Saturns rings are some of the thinnest things known to us. They have a diameter of ~1 million kilometers.

The combined mass of everything in the asteroid belt is only about 3% of our moon. And 60% of that is tied up in the four biggest asteroids.

Insaaaaaaaanely sparse.
