why do planets do not Twinkle
Answers
planets don't twinkle. Stars are so distant that they appear as pinpoints of light in the night sky, even when viewed through a telescope. Because all the light is coming from a single point, its path is highly susceptible to atmospheric interference (i.e. their light is easily diffracted).
Stars appear as point-sized sources of light since they are distant objects.The physical conditions of the atmosphere,through which the starlight travels,are not stationary.Therefore the apparent position of the star fluctuates and the amount of starlight entering the eye flickers.Hence, the stars appear to twinkle.
⏺️Planets are seen as extended sources of light since they are closer to the earth.It can be considered to be made up of large number of point-sized sources.The variation in the amount of light entering our eye from all the individual point-sized sources average out to zero.This nullifies the twinkling effect. As a result, planets do not twinkle.
