Question

Why does stars twinkle?

​

Answer 1

• When light from a distant source (a star) passes through our turbulent (moving air) atmosphere, it undergoes refraction many times. When we finally perceive this light from a star, it appears to be twinkling!

• It is because there are more layers of the atmosphere between you and the star in this direction.

Your answer my dear friend

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.
