Why do the stars twinkle?

Stars do not really twinkle; they just appear to twinkle when seen from the surface of Earth. The stars
twinkle in the night sky because of the effects of our atmosphere. When starlight enters our atmosphere it is
affected by winds in the atmosphere and by areas with different temperatures and densities. This causes the
light from the star to twinkle when seen from the ground.
