Planets are closer to us. The amount of light received from them is much greater and the fluctuations caused in the amount of light due to atmospheric refraction is negligible.Hence planets twinkle.

hey mate!!
here is your answer:
stars are far away from the earth and it seems to be small in size (almost point sized) , due to atmospheric refraction the light reached to us keeps fluctuating and hence it seems to look like twinkle whereas planet are comparatively bigger in sized and near than stars , they are like millions of point stars connenected together, thus each point fluctuates and the net fluctuation becomes zero so, no fluctuation is seen and hence the planets do not twinkle.
hope it helped!
