Class 10ScienceThe Human Eye and the Colourful WorldTextbook - The Human Eye and the Colourful World
EasyExplain why the planets do not twinkle.
(N/A) Planets do not twinkle because they appear larger in size than the stars as they are relatively closer to the Earth.
Planets can be considered as a collection of a large number of point-sized sources of light.
The different parts of these planets produce either brighter or dimmer effects in such a way that the average of the brighter and dimmer effects is zero.
Hence,the twinkling effects of the planets are nullified and they do not twinkle.
