Question

Explain why the planets do not twinkle ??

Answer 1

$\Huge\bf\leadsto{\underline{\red{Answer}}}$

Planets do not twinkle because:

1. Planets are not a source of light. Instead, they reflect low intensity light reaching them.

2. They are also closer to the Earth than the distant stars.

3. As the planets are closer, planets appear larger in comparison to the stars.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge{\underline{\mathtt{\red{A}\pink{N}\green{S}\blue{W}\purple{E}\orange{R}}}}$

This is because they are of larger size and much closer to earth, so it can be taken as a collection of large number of point sized sources of light. The total variation in the amount of light entering our eye from all the individual point sized sources will average out to zero which nullify the twinkling effect of each other. So, planets do not twinkle.
