Even if the earth stops rotating/revolving the stars will appear to twinkle. The reason for them appearing to twinkle is not the rotation/revolution of the earth. It is the movement of the medium through which the light from the star travels.

No,
The twinkling of stars is an atmospheric effect.
(The earth is very unlikely to stop rotating or revolving)

the twinkling of stars is a result of atmospherical distortion. It has nothing to do with movement of the earth

No.
The twinkling is caused by the atmosphere, not the rotation.

Who cares about the stars, will my clocks stop working? If they keep working will they be right?

You would probably die before you found out. One side of the planet would become boiling hot while the other side would freeze solid.

yes because it comes from far and there r space junck that may cause the twinking or atmosperic actions
