The twinkling of stars is due to atmospheric refraction. Atmospheric refraction is the bending of light caused by the earth's atmosphere. ... When the atmosphere refracts more starlight towards us, the star appears bright and when the atmosphere refracts less starlight, the star appears dim.

hi dude
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."
