Answer:
Unlike stars, planets don't twinkle. Stars are so distant that they appear as pinpoints of light in the night sky, even when viewed through a telescope. Because all the light is coming from a single point, its path is highly susceptible to atmospheric interference (i.e. their light is easily diffracted).

- The atmoshpere consists of a number of parallel layers of air of varying densities .
- The most dense layer is near the surface of earth,and least dense later is the top most layer.
- When the rays of light coming from this star pass through atmosphere of varying densities they bend towards the normal.
- Finally when the refracted rays of light reach the eye, the eye tracee straight line path.
- Due to this functions of refractive index of layers,stars appear twinkiling.
