Question

2. Name the planets according to their distance from the sun
Why do the planets not twinkle like stars at night?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Planets, just like the Sun, do not twinkle. Planets are also closer to the Earth than those distant stars, so planets appear larger in comparison. Due to the planets’ closeness to Earth, the light coming from these celestial bodies does not bend much due to Earth’s atmosphere.

Answer 2

Answer:

In order of increasing distance

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

Explanation:

planets do not twinkling because they don't have their own light while star twinkled because of the refractive index when light from the star enters the earth atmosphere and passes through lots of layer which causes refractive index generated and stars seem like twinkling
