Planet Engulfment

Planet Engulfment is a stellar evolutionary phenomenon in which a red giant star, during its expansion phase, dynamically incorporates and absorbs an orbiting planet into its extended envelope, leading to the planet's orbital decay and eventual destruction or dissolution within the stellar interior.
