The diversity of sizes, compositions, and interior structures of the confirmed planetary bodies in our Galaxy poses a fundamental challenge to our understanding of planetary formation and evolution. Processes such as planetesimal and protoplanet growth, giant impacts, differentiation, thermal evolution, and magnetic field generation operate under a wider range of conditions in exoplanetary systems than in our own Solar System. Addressing these questions has become increasingly timely, as recent and upcoming planetary missions are driving a new era of planetary science that promises unprecedented insights into planetary interiors both within our solar system and beyond. This session will highlight the latest perspectives from geophysics, geochemistry, astronomy, and material science on the formation, structure, and evolution of planetary interiors. We welcome interdisciplinary contributions—observational, experimental, and numerical—that explore the interiors, dynamics, and evolution of rocky planets, icy-ocean worlds, gas and icy giants, asteroids, comets, and exoplanets.
