trapping of orbiting bodies into mean-motion commensurabilities as their orbits slowly evolve, explaining the frequency of such resonances.

In planetary science, resonance capture refers to trapping of orbiting bodies into mean-motion commensurabilities as their orbits slowly evolve, explaining the frequency of such resonances. This meaning comes from Goldreich (1965) in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
