That`s because of small disturbances in the earths atmosphere. Planets don`t twinkle because their light is stronger, whereas the light of stars is weak enough to have their light slightly bent by the moving atmosphere.
No. Stars twinkle on Earth because the light beams have to enter the atmosphere, altering the brightness of the star by the second. Since the moon really doesn't have a atmosphere, stars seen from there wouldn't twinkle.
Because you are looking through several miles of atmosphere and the air currents cause the stars to twinkle.

Earth's movement around the sun bends the light.
Earth's movement around the sun bends the light.
Stars in the universe twinkle because of refraction not gravity.
Stars appear to twinkle or flicker in the night sky due to the Earth's atmosphere causing the light from the stars to refract, creating a twinkling effect. This phenomenon is more noticeable when stars are low on the horizon, as the light passes through a greater thickness of the atmosphere. All stars can appear to "wink" or twinkle as seen from Earth.
Stars twinkle due to the Earth's atmosphere and its turbulence, which causes the light from stars to refract and flicker as it passes through. The twinkling effect is not related to the presence of oxygen specifically, so stars can still appear to twinkle in the absence of oxygen.
NO!
Stars are not twinkling really. It is because of the atmosphere of the earth due to which they appear twinkling. However if they are seen from above the atmosphere of earth then they appear stationary.
Both twinkle - even the sun does. However the relative size, as seen from Earth, means that the amount of "twinkle" is far more apparent for a star than for a planet. there is an apparent change in position of stars , so they seem to twinkle
It was twinkle twinkle little stars
