Stars twinkle because … they're so far away from Earth that, even through large telescopes, they appear only as pinpoints. And it's easy for Earth's atmosphere to disturb the pinpoint light of a star.

- The atmoshperr consists of a number of parallel layers of air of varying densities .
- The most dense layer is near the surface of earth,and least dense later is the top most layer.
- When the rays of light coming from this star pass through atmosphere of varying densities they bend towards the normal.
- Finally when the refracted rays of light reach the eye, the eye tracee straight line path.
- Due to this functions of refractive index of layers,stars appear twinkiling.
