    A) True, the mass of Saturn can be determined by applying Kepler's 3rd Law to the motion of a single ice particle in its rings.

    Explanation:

    Kepler's 3rd law states that the square of the orbital period of an object is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. This is expressed as follows:

    T² = 4π² a³ / GM

    where

    T is the orbital period of the object a is the semi-major axis of the object's orbit M is the mass of the planet G is universal gravitational constant

    With a given period and semi-major axis, the mass of Saturn can be determined by applying Kepler's 3rd Law to the motion of a single ice particle in its rings.
