Polarimetric sections of Saturn along different diameters were obtained with the scanning electropolarimeter placed at the focus of the 40-cm refractor of the Abastumanskii Observatory. The main conclusions after statistical processing of the observational material obtained with filters for 6410, 6680, 6800, and 7030 A and in white light are the following: (1) the degree of polarization varies with distance from the center, being minimal at the center and slowly increasing toward the limb; (2) the angle of polarization is radial at each point of the disk; (3) the degree of polarization does not vary along any circle with center at the center of the planet; and (4) the degree of polarization in the region where the ring projects onto the disk is less than at the diametrically opposite segment, and is greater than the degree of polarization of light reflected from the part of the ring that does not project onto the disk.
