Solution

The correct option is A True
Planets are solid heavenly bodies which revolve around the Sun in a closed elliptical paths. A planet is made of rock and metal and produces no light of its own. A planet shines because it reflects the light of the Sun. Since, the planets are much nearer to the stars, they appear to be big and do not twinkle at night.
Hence, the statement is true.
