The video explores the dynamic nature of solar systems, highlighting how planets and other celestial bodies do not remain static but migrate and form resonances. Orbital resonance is explained as a stabilizing factor, where objects lock into synchronized orbits, preventing collisions and maintaining stability. Examples from our solar system, such as Jupiter's moons and Saturn's rings, illustrate these concepts. The video also discusses the implications of resonance for understanding solar system formation and the ongoing research into why some systems lack resonances.
