The cause of the planet is not flashing like stars

The stars that blink continuously in the night sky are due to the light emitted from them being refracted many times as they pass through the Earth's atmosphere.

Stars and planets all have no light when viewed from outer space. But if you look at the Earth, the star looks bright in the sky, and the planet doesn't, according to Earth Sky.

Stars are shining because they are far away from Earth. Even if viewed through a telescope, they appear only as a small point. When the light emitted from the star passes through the Earth's atmosphere, it will be refracted to change the direction of movement a bit.

Due to the density and temperature in different atmospheric layers, light will follow the zig-zag path to reach the observer's eye instead of going straight, so we have the feeling that the star is blinking.

The planet is closer than Earth. They appear as tiny plates in the sky. The light from this small disk is also refracted by the Earth's atmosphere, on its way to the observer's eye.

While the light emitted from a point on the "planetary disk" is forced to move in a zigzag direction, the light emitted from the opposite point of the disk moves zigzag in the opposite direction to cancel each other . This is why the planet does not emit flashing light.
