A while back, Nathan perfectly demonstrated his inability to do something as simple as a google search.
Nathan wants to know why stars twinkle by planets, the ISS and the Sun do not?
Twinkling is due to atmospheric distortion. As light from a star races through our atmosphere, it bounces and bumps through the different layers, bending the light before you see it. Since the hot and cold layers of air keep moving, the bending of the light changes too, which causes the star's appearance to wobble or twinkle.
Then it's all about the apparent size of the object in the sky.
Stars are points since they are so very far away. As a tiny pin-point source, they twinkly the most.
The planets, ISS and the Sun, do not noticeably twinkle because they are large (not a single point) object in the sky.
Here is the apparent size (angular diameter in degrees, minutes and seconds) of various sky observing objects:

It’s important to point out that no POSITIVE PROOF has ever been presented as evidence that the Earth is flat. Only negative irrational and unscientific theories have been exhibited.
All attempts to prove the Earth is flat are based upon efforts to cast doubt on the validity of scientific data that clearly demonstrates that the Earth is a globe - rather than showing proof of flatness.
POSITIVE PROOF you need to provide for us:
A real photograph taken from an elevation of 500 miles or more above the surface of the Earth, that clearly shows the Earth is flat.
A real photograph taken of the flat Earth edge.
If no edge, then a real photograph of the infinite expanse.
If no infinite expanse, then a real photograph of the dome.
If no dome, then at least 1,000 photos of the 25,000 mile long impenetrable ice wall.
If no ice wall, then a real photograph of the lost civilizations that are there.
If no lost civilization's, then what is your next guess?
