Why do planets don't twinkle?
Answers
Unlike stars, 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)
Explanation:
Planets, just like the Sun, do not twinkle. Planets are also closer to the Earth than those distant stars, so planets 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. Therefore, the light coming from our solar system’s planets does not appear to twinkle like stars.
The planet are closer to the earth as compared to the stars so the light receive from the planets must greater and the fluctuation caused in the amount of light due to the atmospheric reaction are negligble as a compared to the amount of a light receive from them so that our planets do not twinkle.
