Atmospheric refraction
⏩is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height.
Stars twinkle because
they're so far away from Earth that, even through large telescopes, they appear only as pinpoints
Planets shine more steadily
because they're closer to Earth and so appear not as pinpoints, but as tiny disks in our sky.
