Answer to Question 1

Triton, Venus, and Io.

Answer to Question 2

Gravitational pull of nearby moons tends to shepherd ring particles by gravitationally altering their orbits. Material is continually recycled between the rings and the ring moons. The ring moons gradually sweep up particles, which are subsequently ejected by collisions with large chunks of ring material.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
