Why doesn�t planet appear to be twinkling?
Answers
_____________________________
As we know, stars twinkle due to refractions of light from atmosphere.
But in case of planet,
The planet is much closer to the earth, and are thus seen as extended source. if we consider a planet as a collection of large number of point sized sources of light , the total variation in the amount of light entering our eye from all the individual point sized source will average out to zero , thereby nullifying the twinkling effect.

Planets do not twinkle because:
1. Planets are not a source of light. Instead, they reflect low intensity light reaching them.
2. They are also closer to the Earth than the distant stars. Hence, the shift due to atmospheric refraction is smaller.
3. As the planets are closer, planets appear larger in comparison to the stars. Hence, the shift is not enough for the planets to twinkle.
