Are star in big dipper twinkle?
yes they do if u want proof go look it up You mean "Do stars in the .....". Yes, all stars twinkle because they produce their own light. Planets don't twinkle because they simply reflect the light from their mother star.
Why planets and moons appear to look shiny?
because they reflect the suns light, so they become visible to us. they twinkle due to the earths atmosphere blocking out some of the light.
Does mars twinkle in the night sky?
Mars does not twinkle in the night sky as much as stars do, because planets are closer to Earth and appear as solid, bright discs of light. Twinkling occurs when starlight is distorted as it passes through Earth's atmosphere, but planets are large enough to not twinkle significantly.
Why do the animals that hunt in the dark eyes twinkle?
there eyes reflect the moonlight
Do planets twinkle in the night sky?
Well, friend, planets generally don't twinkle like stars do because they are much closer to us and their light isn't as easily disrupted by Earth's atmosphere. Take a moment to appreciate the steady glow of planets in the night sky, each one conveying its own unique beauty to be appreciated in stillness and wonder. Keep looking up and discovering the splendid cosmic dance that surrounds us every night.
How can you identify stars and planets?
Stars 'twinkle', planets do not. This is due to the proximity of planets, the light from which does not pass through so much dust and vary accordingly.
How can you distinguish between a planet and a star just by looking at them carefully?
Planets do not twinkle.
Why do planets look like they are blinking in the sky?
Planets appear to twinkle or shimmer in the sky due to the Earth's atmosphere causing the light from the planets to refract and bend, creating a flickering effect. Stars twinkle for the same reason. This effect is more noticeable when the planets are closer to the horizon, where the light passes through a thicker layer of the atmosphere.
Why don't the planets twinkle?
Stars are so far away that they appear as a single pinpoint of light. When the light varies as it passes through the atmosphere, we see it twinkle. Planets are closer and are perceived (by the eye) as multiple rays of light. When the multiple rays change in intensity, the eye sees the average of the multiple intensities and therefore no twinkle.
Why do stars appear to twinkle while planets shine constantly?
Both twinkle - even the sun does. However the relative size, as seen from Earth, means that the amount of "twinkle" is far more apparent for a star than for a planet. there is an apparent change in position of stars , so they seem to twinkle
Why stars do not twinkle?
All stars twinkle in our sky because of turbulence in the atmosphere of the Earth. As the atmosphere churns, the light from the star is refracted in different directions. This causes the star's image to change slightly in brightness and position, and thus twinkle. The "Stars" that do not twinkle are the planets in our Solar System except for Venus. Venus twinkles for it has massive clouds that move very fast that causes the twinkle to our eyes.
Decide whether a newly observed object that emits visible light is a planet or a star?
If it appears to twinkle, it's probably a star; if not, it might be a planet. Stars are much larger than planets, but they're also much further away; even in a telescope, a star is essentially a point source of light, so atmospheric refraction makes it appear to twinkle.
