Why does stars twinkling |
|
Answer» Due to atmospheric refraction... Stars do not really twinkle, they just appear to twinkle when seen from the surface of Earth. The stars twinkle in the night sky because of the effects of our atmosphere. When starlight enters our atmosphere it is affected by winds in the atmosphere and by areas with different temperatures and densities. This causes the light from the star to twinkle when seen from the ground due to atmospheric refraction. Due to atmospheric refraction Due to refraction of light Due to refraction of light through different layers like lithosphere, atmosphere,stratosphere,etc. |
