What phenomenon accounts for the blue shift of a star?

If you mean the 'twinkle' of a star that you see in the sky at night, then the colors of the 'twinkle' are caused by layers of the atmosphere at different temperatures bending the light (rather like the shimmer of air you see above a hot road) and splitting it out into the component colors (like a prism). But if you mean the change in color of a star over its life, then this relates to the how hot the star's core is and it diameter. Stars start of fusing hydrogen and when this runs out they fuse helium then heavier and heavier elements up to iron. When the star starts to fuse helium the core gets hotter and the star puffs up changing from (blue/white/yellow) to a red orange color.

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

Stars twinkle because of turbulence in Earth's atmosphere. As light from a star passes through the atmosphere, it gets distorted by varying air temperatures and densities. This causes the star's light to appear to flicker or twinkle when viewed from the ground.


Stars twinkle when you see them because you see them because their light is distorted by earth?

Stars shine steadily, but the atmosphere distorts the point image so that it appears to "twinkle". Planets are not point-sources; they actually have a tiny-but-visible disk. So the atmospheric turbulence doesn't cause planets to twinkle nearly as much.
