Why planets are do not twinkle |
|
Answer» Planets\xa0don\'t\xa0twinkle because\xa0they are closer, and thus appear larger in our sky, as tiny disks instead of pinpoints.Because all the light is coming from a single point, its path is highly susceptible to atmospheric interference (i.e. their light is easily\xa0diffracted). Unlike stars, planets don\'t twinkle. Stars are so distant that they appear as pinpoints of light in the night sky, even when viewed through a telescope.
