Twinkle Little Star Worksheet Nursery Rhymes Printable For KidsWhen we look up at the clear night sky, then we can see the twinkling stars. There are many theories that say that the planets and the sun are actually stars, but why don't they twinkle?
The reason is that the distance from the star to the earth is very far. Even though they have been seen using a telescope, they still only look like pinpoints. Then, the earth's atmosphere can easily obscure the light from the star so that it appears as if it is flickering. But we say that the stars twinkle.
The sun and the planets are relatively closer to the earth than the stars. Therefore, at certain times we can see them clearly or we can also use the help of a telescope.
