because when the light enters the atmosphere it goes in zigzags or long dot zigzags
twinkle stars
Stars twinkle due to the Earth's atmosphere causing the light from stars to refract as it passes through different layers of varying density. In winter, the Earth's atmosphere is typically more stable and less turbulent, resulting in less twinkling of stars compared to other seasons. This stability reduces the amount of atmospheric distortion that causes the twinkling effect, leading to clearer and steadier views of stars in the winter sky.

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.
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.
This is because the Earth's atmosphere has many layers which causes the rays of light coming from the stars to refract. This gives the effect that stars twinkle. The air around the moon does not have layers so the rays from the stars do not refract, and thus do not twinkle.
twinkle twinkle little stars? twinkle twinkle little stars?
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.
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.
NO!
The sun does not twinkle like other stars because it is much closer to Earth and much larger in size. The twinkling of stars is caused by the Earth's atmosphere distorting the light as it passes through, but the sun's proximity and size minimize this effect, resulting in a stable and constant brightness.
It was twinkle twinkle little stars
It's not really a nursery rhyme, but a song, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".
Stars twinkle because of the Earth's atmosphere. As the light from a star passes through the various layers of the atmosphere, it gets refracted or bent, causing the star's brightness to fluctuate slightly. This bending of light is what creates the twinkling effect that we see from Earth.
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.
