What causes the gaps in saturns rings?
The gaps in Saturn's rings are primarily caused by the gravitational forces exerted by its moons. Moons passing through these gaps can create disturbances in the ring particles' orbits, leading to gaps. Other factors such as orbital resonances with moons or shepherd moons can also contribute to the formation of gaps.

Why are three of Saturns satellites called the shepards moons?
Three of Saturn's moons—Prometheus, Pandora, and Janus—are known as shepherd moons because they help maintain the structure of Saturn's rings. Their gravitational influence keeps the ring particles in place, preventing them from spreading out and creating gaps within the rings. This dynamic interaction allows these moons to "shepherd" the material around them, contributing to the distinct features and boundaries observed in Saturn's rings.
