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 planets don't blink?
Planets do not blink because they do not emit their own light - they reflect the light from the sun. They appear as steady, non-blinking points of light in the night sky due to their stable orbits and distance from Earth. Blinking is typically associated with closer and more dynamic sources of light.
What planets can you c in November?
In November, you can typically see planets such as Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn in the night sky. Look for Mars in the eastern sky before dawn, Jupiter in the evening sky in the southwest, and Saturn also in the evening sky in the south. Venus may also be visible in the morning sky just before sunrise.
What does a satellite look like in the night sky as viewed from earth?
If you get out your telescope and look high over the equator at sunset, you may be able to see a stationary satellite. It will look like a pinpoint of light. During the daytime, There is too much light to see them.
Can you see other planets when your on Mars?
Yes, other planets would be visible from Mars just like they are from Earth. Mars has a similar night sky to Earth, so you can see planets like Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, as well as stars and our own moon.
Do Planets look like bright stars when they are viewed from Earth.?
Yes. Venus always looks like the brightest star in the sky. Jupiter usually looks like the second-brightest star (sometimes briefly outshone by Mars, when it's close to us). Mercury, Mars, and Saturn still look like fairly bright stars.
Does the auroras look like poles of light curtains of light branches of light or planets of light in the night sky?
The auroras look like poles of light curtains in the night sky and not like the light branches of light or the planets of light.
What else can you see in the sky besides stars and the moon?
Planets but the look like stars
What is a blinking mass found in the sky?
A blinking mass found in the sky could be a star, planet, satellite, or aircraft. Stars can appear to twinkle or blink due to atmospheric turbulence, while satellites and aircraft may blink due to reflecting sunlight as they move across the sky. Planets generally do not blink or twinkle like stars.
How technology is used to observe distant objects in the sky?
to see what the planets look like. and to see what they would do over time.
Why planets don't blink?
Planets do not blink because they do not emit their own light - they reflect the light from the sun. They appear as steady, non-blinking points of light in the night sky due to their stable orbits and distance from Earth. Blinking is typically associated with closer and more dynamic sources of light.
Why start twinkle in the sky at night give scientific reason?
Stars are basically balls of pulsating light so they create "waves" causing it to look like it's blinking on and off. You can tell the difference between a star and a planet by watching to see if it's blinking or not.
Why can you see planets in the sky?
because some of the planets reflect lights from the sun like Venus.
Are the planets stars?
Yes and no because when you look up in the sky some of those stars are planets but techinacally they aren't stars.
Is a star another planet?
sometimes other planets can look like stars, but a star in itself is just a star. No. Stars are things like our Sun. While you may occasionally see some very close planets in the sky, most of the lights you see will not be planets.
What planets can you c in November?
In November, you can typically see planets such as Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn in the night sky. Look for Mars in the eastern sky before dawn, Jupiter in the evening sky in the southwest, and Saturn also in the evening sky in the south. Venus may also be visible in the morning sky just before sunrise.
How do the planets stay in the sky?
planets stay in the sky due to the pull of gravity
Where on the celestial Sphere would you look for the planets?
You can find planets on the celestial sphere along the ecliptic, which is the apparent path that the Sun takes across the sky throughout the year. The planets in our solar system generally follow this same path, although they may deviate slightly due to their individual orbits.
