Hi ✌
First of all I would like to tell you that you've asked a nice question!

Stars twinkle because their light must pass through pockets of Earth's atmosphere that vary in temperature and density, and it's all very turbulent.
On rough nights, a star appears to shift position constantly as its light is refracted this way and that.

Hope it helps!!!

Because they are so far.... from us... then there is atmospheric refraction in our atmosphere.... because of which there is apparent position and actual position ..
