Stars twinkle because they're so far away from Earth that, even through large telescopes, they appear only as pinpoints. As a star's light pierces our atmosphere, each single stream of starlight is refracted – caused to change direction, slightly – by the various temperature and density layers in Earth's atmosphere.
