What are the minimum dimensions for planetary rings to be as visible as the moon in our night sky?

What are the minimum dimensions (length, width, height, etc.) for rings to at least be as significant (as in brightness/visibility) in the night sky as our moon?

Since there are so many variables that come with latitude, and angles in relation to the planet: How big would the rings need to be to be seen from the poles?
