Stars twinkle because they’re so far away from Earth that when light from the stars passes through the atmosphere, it is bent countless times due to refraction, making it look like as if they were blinking. The sun doesn’t twinkle because it’s too close to Earth compared to other stars.

Planets, just like the Sun, do not twinkle. Planets are also closer to the Earth than those distant stars, so planets appear larger in comparison. Due to the planets’ closeness to Earth, the light coming from these celestial bodies does not bend much due to Earth’s atmosphere. Therefore, the light coming from our solar system’s planets does not appear to twinkle like stars.
