Satellites Have Lights On Them But They Are Positioned A Few Mile Above The troposphere Which All Together that's Over 10 Miles In Distance. and This Little Light That May Be As Big As A Light Bulb. I Doubt The Light Is Strong Enough. But With A Sun You Have Something More Than 100 Times Bigger Than Our Earth Acting Like One Big Light Bulb From Millions Upon Millions of Light Years Away. It Take A Million Plus Years Just For The Light pf Those Suns Just To Reach Earth Just So We Can See It. So We Don't See That Sun As It Is Now But Rather Than It Is A Million Years Ago. So The Light That It Admits Is Very Weak and Flickers As All Suns Fluctuates In Heat and Shows as A Twinkle.

In Simple Saying The Satellite Is To Weak The Stars Is Much Stronger.

Stars also twinkle because in the atmosphere there are like air pockets which distort the light to pretty much create an illusion that makes them twinkle.

Or : Stars are located outside our atmosphere while most satellite are within our earth's atmosphere. As the temperatures of the air across the atmosphere varied, its reflective index varies and thus light from the stars are refracted through different angles, causing them to appear as if they are twinkling. Whereas the satellites are within our atmosphere as are not affected as such. This is similar to : if you put a coil at the bottom of a swimming pool, if the water of the pool rippled, the coil will appear to "move", but if you dive underneath the water, you do not see the coil "moving".
