Question

3. Why
a a
planet does not twinkle and
twinkling at night?
stars​

Answer 1

Answer:

Planets do not twinkle at night like stars because they are larger in size , also they are not a source of light. Instead, they reflect low intensity light reaching them.

Planets are also closer to the earth than the distant stars. Hence, the shift due to atmospheric refraction is smaller.

As the planets are closer, planets appear larger in comparison to stars. Hence , the shift is not enough for the planets to twinkle.
