This resonance causes the gravitational effects of the three large moons to distort their orbits into elliptical shapes, because each moon receives an extra tug from its neighbors at the same point in every orbit it makes.
Esta resonancia fai que os efectos gravitacionais dos tres grandes satélites distorsionen as súas órbitas en forma elíptica, xa que cada un deles recibe un empurrón adicional dos seus veciños no mesmo punto en cada órbita que realizan.
