उत्तर

Irregular absorption or scattering in the earth's atmosphere

Explanation:
This is because of scintillation ("Twinkling") as the light passes through the atmosphere of the Earth. As the air moves in and out, the starlight is refracted,  often different colors in different directions. Because of this "chromatic aberration," stars can appear to change colors when they are twinkling strongly.
