Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Stars emit their own light. Stars are situated many light years away from the earth. So a person who sees the stars from the earth will see the twinkling of stars due to the large distance of the stars. In the case of planets, they stay much nearer compared to the stars. Planets do not emit light of their own. So, the planet does not appear to twinkle.
