The motion of the burning products of certain pyrotechnic composition as they fall through the air exposes these products to more air than if they were motionless. The oxygen in the air reacts with the complex mixture of chemicals contained in the hot reaction products of the burning composition. These products commonly contain antimony, carbon, aluminum sulfur and often a carbon dioxide producer such as an oxalate or bicarbonate. The complex reactions that take place in the air, eventually results in the liquid by products of burning to react explosively and the individual droplets explodes in a flash of light, This effect is often referred to as a glitter or flitter reaction. Alternatively small solid pellets, sometimes only 1-3 mm in diameter, reacts intermittently and produces a strobe-like effect, which when viewed in large numbers appears as cloud of twinkling lights. Even experienced pyrotechnists can not always distinguish a cloud of solid strobe stars from a cloud of liquid glitter droplets reacting with atmospheric oxygen. In the instance of glitter the motion is critically important, however small solid stars (sometimes called microstars) dispersed from a fireworks aerial shell or rocket will function to produce a twinkling effect even if ignited while sitting motionless on the ground. The details of the chemistry of these twinkling effects is only partially understood but universally appreciated. - RMW
What else can I help you with?
What in fireworks make them twinkle?
The twinkling effect in fireworks is primarily caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of hot gases and the varying sizes of the burning particles. When fireworks explode, metal salts and other compounds are ignited, creating bright flashes of color and light. The irregularities in the combustion process and the differing trajectories of these particles lead to the twinkling appearance as they burn and fade at different rates. Additionally, the atmospheric conditions can influence how these lights appear, enhancing the twinkling effect.
What is a cluster of fireworks that revolve?
A cluster of fireworks that revolve is typically referred to as a "spinning wheel" or a "wheel of fire." These fireworks emit sparks and colors while rotating in a circular motion, creating a dazzling display in the sky. The spinning motion adds an extra element of excitement and visual interest to the fireworks show.
What agent cause the fireworks of chemical change?
Burning and thermal decomposition of fireworks are thermal changes.
What do fireworks taste like?
Fireworks are not meant to be ingested and are dangerous to consume. They are made of chemicals that are toxic and can cause serious harm if ingested. Please do not try to taste fireworks.
Can you eat fireworks?
No, fireworks are not edible and should not be consumed. Fireworks contain chemicals and substances that are not safe for human consumption and can be harmful if swallowed. Eating fireworks can cause serious health issues and should be avoided at all costs.

Do the stars really twinkle at night?
No. The twinkling is caused by the light of the stars being distorted by Earth's atmosphere, which is in constant motion.
What agent cause the fireworks of chemical change?
Burning and thermal decomposition of fireworks are thermal changes.
What are some examples of pictures of sparkly things?
Examples of pictures of sparkly things include diamonds, glitter, sequins, and fireworks. These objects reflect light and create a shimmering or twinkling effect.
What is the past continuous tense of twinkling?
Was/Were twinkling.

How are fireworks harmful to all?
Fireworks disorient animals, because animals have enhanced sensitivity. Sometimes they panic. Careless usage of the fireworks can cause wildfires, which destroy the homes of humans and animals alike.
Is twinkling of stars caused by reflaction?
twinkling of stars is caused by refraction
How many syllables in twinkling?
There are two.
