Galatea and Adams Ring

Ring Moon Interaction The gravity from moons can change the orbits of ring particles by transferring momentum At resonances, moons excite waves and can also truncate the ring creating an edge or gap Moons not big enough to open a gap create propeller structures Meteorite bombardment of small moons creates dusty rings
