Planet-disk interactions refer to the dynamic processes that occur between a planet and the surrounding disk of material in a planetary system. This interaction plays a crucial role in shaping the evolution and formation of planets. The planet's gravity can affect the structure and dynamics of the disk, leading to the accumulation of material and the formation of planetary bodies. In turn, the disk can influence the planet's orbit, migration, and overall evolution. Understanding these interactions is essential for studying the formation and evolution of planetary systems in our universe.
