Solution
Statement 1: Stars twinkle, but planets do not.
Our sun is the nearest star. Stars are farther away from us than planets, the light from stars passes through various layers with different temperatures. So due to diffraction of light, stars seem to twinkle, they appear only as pinpoints. and planets do not.
Statement 2: Stars have their own light, but a planet does not.
Stars have their own light and twinkle in the night, but a planet does not have their own light. Planets reflect the light, which falls on them from the sun. Stars twinkle because of turbulence in the earth’s atmosphere. Planets do not have nuclear fusion, they do not produce their own light.
