b) they are nearer to the earth and hence we receive a greater amount of light and therefore minor variations in intensity are not noticeable
c) their distance from the earth does not change with time
d) they emit light of a constant intensity
Answer »Answer: (b)
Stars twinkle because they are point light sources. Passing through the atmosphere, the small beam of light constantly shifts by bouncing off particles in the air. The much closer planets appear instead as tiny disks in the sky.
Their apparent sizes are usually larger than the pockets of air that would distort their light, so the effects of scintillation are negligible. Being closer, planets appear as discs, with the shifting of light from one side canceling out the other.
