Question

Why do the stars appear to twinkle and not planets and the moon?

Answer 1

Stars appear to twinkle and not planets and the moon:

1. The light rays that stars emit are refracted numerous times before reaching us since they are too far from us.
2. As a result, stars appear to blink or twinkle.
3. Planets, on the other hand, are closer to us in comparison to stars.
4. As a result, light refraction is minute in the case of light coming from planets, and planets do not appear to twinkle.
