Answer:

Stars emit their own light. They are much, much farther than planets, so their light isn’t as strong as the light we see the planets. The light from the stars is not strong from our perspective. Because of this, the atmosphere scatters the light, which creates the twinkle that you see.

Satellites can only be seen for a short amount of time; they can be seen after sunset and before sunrise. They are very close to us(relative to the difference of planets and stars. Satellites reflect the sun’s light. They are very small, comparatively, even though they look round the same size as stars to us. This is because of the vast difference in distance. The stars are billions upon billions of miles away from us, while satellites are within 700 miles of us. They move very fast and are as bright as a medium-sized star. If the light blinks regularly, especially at a time when you can’t see satellites, it’s probably an airplane.
