stars are burning balls of gases and fire and appear to "blink" when we look at them...they actually arent blinking, they just seem to be because of the atmosphere. Planets on the other hand are generally solid masses (although this isn't true for all planets)
stars blink because of atmospheric disturbances.planets don't blink because they closer to earth and they reflect the suns bright light.
