Answer:
Unlike stars, planets don't twinkle. Stars are so distant that they appear as pinpoints of light in the night sky, even when viewed through a telescope. Because all the light is coming from a single point, its path is highly susceptible to atmospheric interference

Answer:
we do not see twinkling of planets .this is because, planets are much closer to us as compared to stars . they ,therefore, do not appear as point sources but appear as a collection of point sources. because of changes in atmospheric refractive index the position as well as the brightness of individual point source change but the average position and total average brightness remains unchanged and planets do not twinkle
