Question

why do planets don't twinkle?​

Answer 1

Answer:

hi this is your answet

Explanation:

Stars twinkle, while planets (usually) shine steadily. Why?

Stars twinkle because … they’re so far away from Earth that, even through large telescopes, they appear only as pinpoints. And it’s easy for Earth’s atmosphere to disturb the pinpoint light of a star. As a star’s light pierces our atmosphere, each single stream of starlight is refracted – caused to change direction, slightly – by the various temperature and density layers in Earth’s atmosphere. You might think of it as the light traveling a zig-zag path to our eyes, instead of the straight path the light would travel if Earth didn’t have an atmosphere.

Planets shine more steadily because … they’re closer to Earth and so appear not as pinpoints, but as tiny disks in our sky. You can see planets as disks if you looked through a telescope, while stars remain pinpoints. The light from these little disks is also refracted by Earth’s atmosphere, as it travels toward our eyes. But – while the light from one edge of a planet’s disk might be forced to “zig” one way – light from the opposite edge of the disk might be “zagging” in an opposite way. The zigs and zags of light from a planetary disk cancel each other out, and that’s why planets appear to shine steadily.

Answer 2

Answer:

mentioned below..

Explanation:

the planets are much closer to the earth and are thus seen as extended sources. If we considered a planet as a collection of a large number of point sized sources of light, the total variation in the amount of light entering our eyes from the all individual point-Sized sources will average out to zero, thereby nullifying the twinkling effect .
