... There is a resonance of order n/m, where n and m are two integers, if a planet makes n revolutions when the other one makes m revolutions. In Neptune's rings, the edge of the Adams ring is in a resonance 42:43 with the satellite Galatea. Resonances between the rotation motion of a body and its revol ...
