Answer:
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 light from these little disks is also refracted by Earth's atmosphere, as it travels toward our eyes.
