The rays of light from a planet pass through the atmosphere of the earth. As compared to the stars, planets and nearer to the earth. Can be considered as collection of large number of point source of light. If the intensity of light from one point source decreases, it increases from the other source and thus the average intensity remains the same. Therefore planets don't twinkle.

Im astronomical terms, Planets are far nearer to the earth than the stars. So they appear to be small discs in the telescope, which means there are many sources of light coming from them. Hence the rays coming from them always reach to our eyes and they do not twinjle. As against that stars are billions of miles away and appear as tiny source of light. The ray coming from them is unique and suffers difraction and bends because of the atmosphere and follows a zig zag path. This appears like twinkling to our eyes.
