Actually, no. The atmosphere between you and that star has very thin clouds, or just variances in temperature, that partially and temporarily obscure your view. The Earth's Sun is our closest star, and it is 93 million miles away. So the other stars are further away than that. That's a lot of distance for thing to get in the way of your line of sight. At one time, the planet Jupiter was commonly referred to as 'Jumping Jupiter', because the moons that revolve around it give the appearance of Jupiter's outline to be 'jumping', or 'expanding and contracting'. All of this information does not interfere with my appreciation of the popular song, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".

Stars twinkle when you see them because you see them because their light is distorted by earth?
Stars shine steadily, but the atmosphere distorts the point image so that it appears to "twinkle". Planets are not point-sources; they actually have a tiny-but-visible disk. So the atmospheric turbulence doesn't cause planets to twinkle nearly as much.

Do stars twinkle?
Not really. A star seems to twinkle because its light all comes from a single tiny pointand has to go through Earth's turbulent atmosphere. Planets don't twinkle, becausetheir light comes from a larger point. And in orbit or on the moon, stars don't either.They do not -so viewing them from space they do not.Only viewing them from Earth do theydo that, due to the atmosphere interference.No, stars really don't twinkle in the sky. The reason that stars seem to twinkle when you look at them is because there is a lot of atmosphere between you and the clouds. This causes the stars to disappear for a fraction of a second and reappear, making them seem to twinkle.No, stars really don't twinkle in the sky.

Why stars do not twinkle?
All stars twinkle in our sky 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, and thus twinkle. The "Stars" that do not twinkle are the planets in our Solar System except for Venus. Venus twinkles for it has massive clouds that move very fast that causes the twinkle to our eyes.
Which stars twinkle the most?
The twinkle comes from atmospheric conditions on earth, if lower in the horizon, then the twinkle is increased as the light has to pass through more atmosphere. Air pollution nearer urban areas also effects the twinkle. No particular stars twinkle more than others, it's mainly due to their position in the sky and local atmospheric conditions.

Do the stars of little dipper twinkle?
All stars twinkle in some way. This effect occurs because the stars are so far away from the earth that the light they emit actually bends a bit in Earth's atmosphere thus producing a wavering light. So yes, the stars of the little dipper do twinkle.
Why do astronauts in orbit around Earth see a black sky with stars that do not twinkle but see a blue earth?
Stars twinkle due to the scattering effect of earth's atmosphere. In space this is no atmosphere, thus they do not twinkle. The sky is black in space because there is no scattering of light as there is in the atmosphere. The earth appears blue from space due to the color of the gases in the atmosphere, and their reflected light on large bodies of water.

Do the stars appear to twinkle from other planets?
When you look at the stars through any substantial atmosphere (mixture of gases), they appear to twinkle, and they're not visible during the day. When you look at the stars through no gas, like from the Hubble Telescope or from the surface of the moon, they're visible all the time, day and night, even when the sun is also in the sky, and they don't twinkle.
