Answer:
The answer is the planets actually do twinkle. In fact, everything outside our atmosphere, anything we're looking at outside your atmosphere does twinkle due to the effect that we discussed. However, we can't notice the twinkling effect of the planets because planets appear bigger in size to us.

Answer:
planets are much closer to the earth than stars. The stars are so far away that we consider them as point sources of light. So, planets can be considered as a collection of point-sized sources. Thus the light from all the point sources nullifies the twinkling effect, even though it gets refracted by the atmosphere.
