Why do stars twinkle?
Stars twinkle because of the way light is disrupted as it passes through our planet's atmosphere. Starlight is affected by the winds as it enters, as well by different areas in the atmosphere and temperatures. As light from a star races through our atmosphere, it bounces and bumps through the different layers, bending the light before you see it.
This causes the light from each star to twinkle as we look at them.
