Planets don't emit light, however, they do reflect light from the sun (just like our moon). This means that there is a lot less light coming to our planet from the other planet. (And if our solar system is any indicator, planets are either smaller than the sun, or very far away from it)
The result is that planets have to be a lot closer to be seen. Being closer, the light they emit goes through less space. While we think of space as being a vacuum, there is dust and detritus in space. This interferes with the light from stars because that light has so much more distance to travel. It is this dust and detritus that causes some of the flickering. In addition, the stars are smaller than the planets in terms of our relation to them, so simple atmospheric variations* will cause the characteristic twinkle.
*(like the hot air coming out of a car in summer makes the stuff behind it shimmer or look wavy)

The light that you see from the planets/stars is actually reflected from the sun. The part about stars flickering is due to floating debris in space 'blocking' the path of light from the sun to itself, thus the flickering occurs.

a action picture star as sen from earth is a factor source, at the same time as a planet has discernible quantity. via atmospheric turbulence a factor source looks wavering or twinkling. In a source it relatively is opened up the twinkle is evened (averaged) out to make it seem stable.

The same way that we see the "LIGHT" of the moon. It is a reflection of the Sun back onto the earth, it is not emitted from the moon.

They are seen by light reflected from their star. ~
In our case the sun.
