A hypothesis on Saturn ring formation is presented. Instead of assuming a mechanical basic process, the formation is explained as a consequence of an electromagnetic phenomenon. It is suggested that, during solar system formation, in the outer parts of Saturn's protoatmosphere, there was a conspicuous escape of gas molecules having large kinetic energy. Successive ionization (by X, gamma, and cosmic radiation) took place and then the magnetic field of Saturn caused a capture and an electrocombination of particles. The mechanism is described in mathematical terms. The final result is the arrangement of pieces of ice in the equatorial plane - in stable mechanical equilibrium forming Saturnian rings.
