The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which one glows but does not twinkle?" we need to analyze the options provided: (a) Star (b) Planet (c) Asteroid (d) Meteorite **Step 1: Understanding the terms** - **Star**: Stars are celestial bodies that produce their own light through nuclear fusion. They appear to twinkle due to atmospheric disturbances. - **Planet**: Planets do not produce their own light; they reflect light from stars (like the Sun). They do not twinkle. - **Asteroid**: Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun. They can reflect light but can also twinkle due to atmospheric effects. - **Meteorite**: Meteorites are fragments of meteoroids that survive their passage through the Earth's atmosphere. They do not glow in the same way as stars or planets. **Step 2: Analyzing the options** - **Stars** twinkle due to the Earth's atmosphere, so they are not the correct answer. - **Planets** do not twinkle because they reflect light from the Sun and do not have their own light source. This makes them a potential correct answer. - **Asteroids** can twinkle as well, so they are not the correct answer. - **Meteorites** do not glow in the same way and are not a source of light, so they are also not the correct answer. **Step 3: Conclusion** After analyzing all the options, the only option that glows but does not twinkle is (b) Planet. **Final Answer**: (b) Planet ---
