Why do stars twinkle due to atmosphere pressure

Answers

Answered by prabhat0308

Stars twinkle because of turbulence in the atmosphere of the Earth. As the atmosphere churns, the light from the star is refracted in different directions. This causes the star's image to change slightly in brightness and position, hence "twinkle."
