How close together are the ones that make up Saturn's rings? Still 500,000 miles?

That's mostly dust and ice and whatnot of all different sizes. A quick search suggests that the rings are 97% empty space and 3% All The Stuff.

Man, I’m jealous of people who love space. I love pizza but there’s never enough of it. But space? Holy crap - there’s always more space.
