explain twinkling of a star also explain why a planet does not twinkle
Answers
STARS do not twinkle, we see them twinkling because in our environment cold air is present and cold air is not constant due to this we see twinkling of stars.
PLANET do not produce it's own light they receive light from stars and they do not twinkle because light which they receive they reflect some ray of light.

Stars twinkle because of the atmosphere of the Earth. When light from the stars reaches us, the uneven density of air in the different layers of the atmosphere cause refraction. When the distance is more, the twinkling is also more. Planets are nearer to us than stars which are a few light years away. So even the light from the planets is refracted, but it is noticeable to the human eye.
