Explanation

The stars twinkle while the planets do not. It is due to variation in density of atmospheric layer. As the stars are very far and giving light continuously to us. So, the light coming from stars is found to change their intensity continuously. Hence, they are seen twinkling. Also, stars are much bigger in size than planets but it has nothing to deal with twinkling phenomenon.
