That is because the atmosphere has moving pockets of warm and cold area. These move back and forth. When a stars light goes threw the atmosphere, it moves back and forth, just like the warm and cold pockets.

Why do stars seem to twinkle when viewed by naked eyes?

How do stars twinkle in the absence of oxygen?

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.


Do stars in the sky actually twinkle?

Actually, no. The atmosphere between you and that star has very thin clouds, or just variances in temperature, that partially and temporarily obscure your view. The Earth's Sun is our closest star, and it is 93 million miles away. So the other stars are further away than that. That's a lot of distance for thing to get in the way of your line of sight. At one time, the planet Jupiter was commonly referred to as 'Jumping Jupiter', because the moons that revolve around it give the appearance of Jupiter's outline to be 'jumping', or 'expanding and contracting'. All of this information does not interfere with my appreciation of the popular song, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".

Why stars do not twinkle?

All stars twinkle in our sky because of turbulence in the atmosphere of the Earth. As the atmosphere churns, the light from the star is refracted in different directions. This causes the star's image to change slightly in brightness and position, and thus twinkle. The "Stars" that do not twinkle are the planets in our Solar System except for Venus. Venus twinkles for it has massive clouds that move very fast that causes the twinkle to our eyes.
