| Abstract: | The photometric observations of Saturn's rings made by Camichel (1958a), and Focas and Dollfus (1969) are studied. It has been found that, at large elevation angles multiple scattering between ring particles, and at small elevation angles deviation from Seeliger's principal photometric theory can explain the observations. The geometric albedo 0.82 and the Bond albedo 0.90 have been suggested for the ring particles. The optical thickness of ring B is found to be 1.25 and that of ring A 0.30. |
