The ground's warmth creates a upward convection current of air which refracts the distant lights we see as "twinkling."

Other than Adelaide what are the other cities in the world that appear to have twinkly lights. I have been told that there are 7 cities that have this phenomenon but am unsure which?

Whoever told you this is wrong. ALL lights twinkle from thermal currents in the air. There is nothing special about Adelaide.


Not all city lights twinkle. Why?

The twinkling effect seen with lights are usually due to atmospheric disturbances, which creates temporary pockets of air that can diffract the light. But if some cities have low atmospheric disturbances, usually pollution or moisture, the light is less diffracted, thus does not twinkle.
