The twinkling of city lights in Adelaide, or any urban area, is primarily due to atmospheric turbulence. As light passes through different layers of the Earth's atmosphere, it encounters varying temperatures and densities, causing it to refract and scatter. This scattering effect leads to the twinkling or shimmering appearance of distant lights, as the light waves are constantly being bent and redirected in different directions.
