Planets, just like the Sun, do not twinkle. Planets are also closer to the Earth than those distant stars, soplanets appear larger in comparison. Due to the planets' closeness to Earth, the light coming from these celestial bodies does not bend much due to Earth's atmosphere.

Planets do not twinkle because :
1) They are very near to us.
2)A planet can be considered to be a collection of a very large number of point sources of light. The dimming effect produced by some of the point sources of light in one part is nullified by the brighter effect produced by the point sources of light in its other part..
Thus on the whole the brightness of the planet always remains same..
