HEY MATE HERE IS UR ANSWER ♥♥
planets do not usually twinkle, because they are so close to us; they appear big enough that the twinkling is not noticeable (except when the air isextremely turbulent). Stars would notappear to twinkle if we viewed them from outer space (or from aplanet/moon that didn't have an atmosphere).
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.

HEYAAAA,,,,,
PLANET - A planet is an astronomical body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and has cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals.
NAMES - Our Solar System has eight planets which orbit the sun. In order of distance from the sun they are; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto, which until recently was considered to be the farthest planet, is now classified as a dwarf planet.
THEY ARE NOT TWINKLE BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE UP OF RAW MATERIALS AND COOL IN NATURE .....BUT WE KNOW STARS ARE TWINKLE BECAUSE THEY ARE BALLS OF FIRE......
