Explain why the plants do not twinkle |
|
Answer» Because of total variation in the amount of light..the light come form planets is nullifying.... thereby the planets do not twinkle Unlike\xa0stars\xa0that\xa0twinkle\xa0at night, planets do not. Instead they shine steadily due to the distance between these planets. Unlike\xa0stars\xa0that are so\xa0far away\xa0from earth that even in the most powerful of telescopes they look merely like\xa0dots\xa0or\xa0points\xa0and appear to\xa0twinkle\xa0due to “refraction” when they enter the earth’s atmosphere.\xa0But\xa0planets\xa0are much more\xa0closer\xa0to earth. Their appearance is that of\xa0tiny disks\xa0through telescopes. When the light from these planets enters the earth’s atmosphere they also go through refraction. But light from both the ends of the planet, travel away from each other in opposite direction, thus\xa0cancelling\xa0each other’s effects. So they appear steadily instead of twinkling like stars. Because they do not create light... I guess I\'m not sure Plants or planets |
