Question

Explain why the planet do not twinkle class10 short ans

Answer 1

planets do not twinkle because of the following 2 reasons:
1) they do not have their own light.
since we know that planets are non luminous i.e. they do not have their own ,they reflect the light which they get from the sun.
2) they are very near to us as compared to the far located stars .
the stars are located at avery far distance from us so a very little variations occur btwn the light coming from the planets so the refraction is not visible and the planets don't twinkle
