Using Focas and Dollfus' (1969) measurements, the effective optical thickness of Saturn's rings along the cross-section studied is evaluated from intensity of radiation transmitted through the rings. The most probable value, including also the contribution of gaps, is 0.2. A large fraction of dark-side illumination is produced by single scattering in gaps having an optical thickness 10-4 to 10-3.
