Question

Hello Hiiii GOOD MORNING DEARS......
Explain why the planets do not twinkle????? Give me accurate answer.... no spam plzzzz

Answer 1

Hey mate, here is your answer ===

Planets don't twinkle because they are large in size which stops it by performing dispersion of light in which light again and again bends towards the normal which makes the stars twinkle but not in the case of Planets.

Hope it helps u dear :)

Answer 2

The earth's atmosphere is mostly turbulent and has a rapidly varying density. Thus light coming from any light source in the outer space suffers atmospheric refraction. The earth's atmospheric refraction thus causes the images of distant heavenly objects to appear to "swim", that is the image of the same point may seem to be formed at a slightly different point in the image space and this results in a visual effect of the temporary disappearing of the image (provided the image is too small to be recognized as a disk and is nearly a point image) namely "twinkling". The stars though much larger than the planets, are so distant that they appear like point objects in the night sky and thus their images suffer the twinkling effect. The planets though small are much nearer and can be resolved as disks even with binoculars and hence their images are too big to suffer twinkling.
