Why do you see stars twinkling but planets do not?
the stars emitt its own light. But the planets do not have any own light. It absorbs the light from the stars like a sun. It just reflects the light. And also the stars are far away from the earth than the planets. So we can found the twinkling of stars but not the planets.
Why do planets appear brighter than stars?
Planets appear brighter than stars because they reflect more sunlight and have larger apparent sizes in the night sky compared to distant stars. Stars emit light due to nuclear fusion in their cores, while planets reflect light from the Sun, making them appear brighter to us on Earth.
Why are stars brighter than planets?
They are a lot closer than the stars. The nearest star, Alpha Proxima is 4 light years away. The planets are at most a few light hours away. Although they don't emit light, several of them have cloudy or sandy surfaces, making them highly reflective of sunlight. Some planets seem brighter - not all of them. Planets are quite near to us, as compared to the stars.
Why is Space black or dark?
the space between stars and planets has insufficient particles to reflect the light back to us.
Why is light from stars and planets considered to be parallel light?
Light from stars and planets is considered parallel because the sources are at vast distances from Earth compared to their size, resulting in light rays arriving nearly parallel to each other when observed from Earth. This is due to the large distance between Earth and the celestial bodies, making the rays of light effectively parallel by the time they reach us.
Why do planets seem brighter than stars?
Some planets seem brighter - not all of them. Planets are quite near to us, as compared to the stars.
How does the distance of planets compare to the distance of stars?
Stars are all over Hollywood, planets are above us in the sky.
How does the telescope help us today?
* The telescope helps us understand space and the stars and other planets.
Why can stars and planets not be seen on cloudy nights?
Stars and planets cannot be seen on cloudy nights because the clouds obstruct the light emitted by these celestial bodies. The water droplets or ice crystals in the clouds scatter and absorb the light, making the night sky appear overcast and hiding any astronomical objects behind them. As a result, visibility is significantly reduced, preventing us from seeing stars and planets.
Does the moon earth planets or sun give off their own light?
Yes, it does and it reflects light onto other planets making stars.
What is the evidence that planets are closer to earth than the stars?
The evidence that planets are closer to Earth than the stars is the brightness of the light that each star gives off in the sky. The ones that are farther away are dimmer than the ones closest to us. We can see the planets closest to us in the night sky (Mars, Venus, and sometimes Mercury) because they reflect the light of the sun back to us so that we can see them - however you need to know where to look in the night sky to find them.
Do planets give us light?
No
