Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Planets appear big to us because they are much closer to the earth. The planet is considered as the collection of a very large number of point light sources. The dimming effect produced by some of the point light sources in one part of the planet is cancelled out by the shining effect produced by the point source of light in its other part. The brightness of a planet remains the same. Hence planets do not twinkle.
