why planets do not twinkle?

NishantMALIK: Real answer is this

NishantMALIK: I m answering in comment

NishantMALIK: Planets are considered as extended sources of light as they are closer to the earth. . If we consider 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 will average out to zero, thereby nullifying the twinkling effect.....

so it is mainly because of itz size....

hope u r clear nw...

because they are not so far from us they seem larger than star and the light coming from them have large area so it can't reflect completely at Stone.
