it's not because the atmosphere clears, it's because our atmosphere is moving. It's just as the earth moves the light from the stars get refracted and it appears as if it's twinkling.



But did you know that some of the stars that we see at night are already dead? It's just because it takes so long for the light to reach us that we can view as if it's a star whereas it may actually be a supernova.
