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)......

Hey mate
Planets are much closer to the Earth and are seen as extended sources. If we consider a planet as a large number of point-sized sources, the light coming from all these sources to our eyes average out to zero, nullifying the twinkling effect.
Thank you.
