Why planets do no twinkle twinkle in the little sky?

Answer:
Stars twinkle because they’re so far away from Earth that when light from the stars passes through the atmosphere, it is bent countless times due to refraction, making it look like as if they were blinking.

- 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).
- Because planets do not have nuclear fusion, they do not produce their own light. Instead, they shine with light reflected from a star.
- When we see planets in the night sky, such as Venus, the so-called "Evening Star," we're seeing reflected sunlight.
