Stars twinkle. Planets shine or glow steadily.
Little Jane's eyes twinkled with excitement as her grandmother opened her present.
Light up the sky and sing: Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! When the blazing sun is gone, When there's nothing he shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, through the night. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! In the dark blue sky so deep Through my curtains often peep For you never close your eyes ’Til the morning sun does rise Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are
Mars
Oh, happy little question! Venus does not actually twinkle in the night sky like some other stars do. Its light is quite steady and strong due to how close it is to Earth and how its thick atmosphere interacts with light. Isn't that just magical to think about?
Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, that can be seen in its sky at night. These moons are much smaller than Earth's moon and appear as small dots or faint streaks of light. Additionally, Mars can have dust storms and clouds that may affect visibility of celestial objects.

Mars
No, the sky appears to be a reddish-brown during daytime hours on Mars due to the atmosphere of the planet. At night the sky may appear black, similar to what is seen on Earth at night.

Mars is visible from Earth in the night sky because of its orbit around the Sun. When Earth and Mars align in their orbits, Mars appears brighter and closer to us, making it visible with the naked eye. This usually occurs when Mars is at opposition, meaning it is directly opposite the Sun in the sky.

Mars is clearly visible low in the Eastern sky just before sunrise. You may have been tricked by the Mars Hoax.
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.
