Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Stars twinkle due to atmospheric refraction of light. Due to the refraction of light from stars in the atmosphere, the apparent position of stars keeps on changing continuously. Light refraction, not light scattering, is what causes the stars to twinkle. The refractive index of the earth’s atmosphere is not constant. The values of the atmosphere vary according to its layers.[89][90]
The correct statement would be, the stars twinkle due to the refraction of light.[91][92]
