How many rings does Jupiter have? How many rings does Saturn have?

Saturn has thousands of small rings, and each ring has many thousands of small to house-sized pieces in it. Jupiter has just a few thin dark rings. Neptune and Uranus have rings too! And Uranus's rings were discovered by amateurs! The cool thing is, Jupiter and Saturn have auroras like the Earth does, but they have satellites that put a lot of particles in their magnetospheres. Io, one of Jupiter's satellites, puts out more than a TON per second of sulfur and oxygen. Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, has jets of water coming from it. Amazing!
