Stars appear to twinkle because they are so distant that they appear as tiny points of light, making atmospheric distortions visible as shimmering; planets, being closer and appearing slightly larger in the sky, have their atmospheric distortions averaged out, so they don't twinkle. The twinkling is caused by Earth's atmosphere, not by the stars themselves.

Stars Twinkle... Planets Mostly Don'tAñadido:
Stars twinkle, but planets mostly don't.
Look closely. One seems to dance, the other barely moves. The strange part, neither one is actually doing that. As starlight passes through moving air, it bends slightly over and over again.
Stars look like tiny points, so every wobble becomes visible. Planets look slightly larger, so those wobbles average out. But first, if you have eyes, tap like, click subscribe, then share this with a friend. So stars aren't really twinkling. You're watching Earth's atmosphere move.
