Why do stars twinkle?? ... .. |
|
Answer» Hope it helps you As the light from the star enters the earth\'s atmosphere it undergoes refraction due to varying optical densities.As the light refracts by different amount therefore starlight reaching our eyes increase and decreases continuously.. Hence star appears to be twinkle at night. Ohk Moreover, the different layers of atmosphere are mobile and the temperature and the density of layers of atmosphere changes continuously. Hence, the apparent position of the star changes continuously. The change in the apparent position of the star continuously leads to twinkling of a star. stars twinkle because of turbulence in the atmosphere of the earths.As the atmosphere churns the light from the staris refracted indifferent direction.☺☺☺ Stars twinkle due to atmospheric refraction. |
