- Air columns with slightly higher density refract light at slightly different angles. — Atmospheric Scintillation: Why Stars Twinkle
- Shifting deflection of light creates the appearance of motion or jitter. — Atmospheric Scintillation: Why Stars Twinkle
- Light bends when it passes through regions of varying density, in a way similar to a lens. — Atmospheric Scintillation: Why Stars Twinkle
- Refracted starlight is deflected as it travels toward an observer. — Atmospheric Scintillation: Why Stars Twinkle
