Unlike stars, planets don't twinkle.Stars are so distant that they appear as pinpoints of light in the night sky, even when viewed through a telescope. Because all the light is coming from a single point, its path is highly susceptible to atmospheric interference (i.e. their light is easily diffracted).

Due to variations in the atmospheric conditions the parent position of the star keeps on changing and also the amount of light coming from the star changes randomly with the time this gives rise to twinkling effect of the Star .
