The twinkling of star is due to atmospheric refraction of starlight. The starlight on entering the earth's atmosphere undergoes refraction continuously before it reaches the earth.The atmospheric refraction occurs in a medium of gradually changing refractive index.The atmosphere bends the starlight towards the normal, the Apparent position of the star is slightly different from its actual position. The star appears slightly higher (above) than its actual position when viewed near the Horizon.since the stars are very distant the approximate point-sized sources of light

The stars are in the sky both day and night. During the day our star, the Sun, makes our sky so bright that we cannot see the much dimmer stars. At night, when the sky is dark, the light of the stars can be seen.
