Why Stars Twinkle
A star appears as a point of light to the unaided eye. The Earth's atmosphere, however, is turbulent. Different air pockets refract the starlight in varying ways, creating multiple, shifting images. This constant change in the number and position of these images makes stars appear to twinkle.
