Unlike stars, planets don't twinkle. Stars are so distant that they appear as pinpoints of light in the night sky, even when viewed through a telescope. Because all the light is coming from a single point, its path is highly susceptible to atmospheric interference (i.e. their light is easily diffracted).

Answer:

The twinkling of a star is due to the atmospheric refraction of star's light.The continuously changing atmosphere refracts the light from the stars by different amounts from one moment to the next.The star light reaching out eyes increases and decreases continuously due to atmospheric refraction.And the star appears to twinkle at night.
