If Earth Had a Ring Like Saturn

Those are Saturn's rings. All the little gaps and ridges in the rings are due to the gravitational interactions of ring particles with Saturn's many moons. Since Earth has just the one moon, gaps in our rings would all be due to orbital resonances with that moon, creating a much more regular appearance. When that animation was going around the internet, I took a stab at figuring out exactly what the Earth's rings would look like, given reasonable assumptions for Roche limit, atmospheric drag effects, and lunar resonances.
