it is due to refraction.
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

stars are very far from earth and their light come on earth after completing a long journey it passes through many spheres of the earth and in every layer it changs its path so bcoz of passing through this path and that path they seem us twinkling but they don't twinkle at all .

on the other hand planets are closer than stars to earth so they don't seem twinkling .

Answer:

The twinkling of a star is due to the atmospheric refraction of star's light.The continuously changing atmosphere refracts the light from the stars by different amounts from one moment to the next.The star light reaching out eyes increases and decreases continuously due to atmospheric refraction.And the star appears to twinkle at night.
