Twinkling stars- so beautiful!

Because of this effect observations for studying the stars are situated on mountain tops. The reason for this is because the higher up you go, the air becomes thinner and it is less likely to cause the twinkling effect. -glit-

Quote: Ankur0464: The process is called refraction... Due to varying thickness of atmospheric layers, light from the stars have to suffer multiple reflection and hence twinkling effect produced /smiley

Did u study physics?

Quote: OceanGoddes: Most stars burn steadily and if we could see them from space they would not actually be twinkling at all. As the light from a star passes through the earth's atmosphere it is bent by changes in the air temperature. This makes the light appear to flicker.
