Question

why the star twinkle at night but the planet do not twinkle at all ?? give the appropiate reason

Answer 1

Stars are at a far away distance form us and they are a point source so when the light ray come from them to our eyes the ray passes through Earth's atmosphere which becomes denser when we move towards it. so the ray bends continuously and follow a curved path. We see the starts raised up. because of many physical conditions in troposphere like wind, dust, etc. the ray doesn't reach our eyes and also sometimes it deviates and we find it twinkling, whereas planets are closer to us and are big in size so a little bit of deviation or physical condition doesn't affect and so planets do not twinkle

Answer 2

Stars twinkle at night because....
1:Stars are very distant from us.
2:They have point size source of light.
3:As the path of rays of light coming from stars to earth atmosphere the refractive index changes and the apparent position of stars fluctates and the amount of starlight entering the eye flickers,it appears somtimes brighter and sometimes fainter,it means it twinkles.



Planets do not twinkle because.....
1:The planets are much closer to the earth.
2:Planet has a colletuon of a large number of point sized source of light
3:The total variation in the amount of light entering our eye from all the individual it will average out to zero. Therefore it do not twinkle.....
