SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Those meteors are burning up in the mesosphere. The meteors make it through the exosphere and thermosphere without much trouble because those layers don’t have much air. But when they hit the mesosphere, there are enough gases to cause friction and create heat.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gases present in the mesosphere create heat when a meteor or asteroid passes through this layer and burn them up, thus preventing these bodies from reaching the Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -The layer which extends up to about 85 km above the surface of the earth is called the mesosphere. Meteorites burn up in this layer due to the presence of a relatively thicker atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mesosphere is the coldest region of Earth’s atmosphere, close to-100°C. It’s the layer of the atmosphere where meteors burn up into small fragments of dust. The mesosphere has little impact on weather patterns, pollution transport, and water vapor availability.

Detailed explanation-5: -Most meteors vaporize in the mesosphere. Some material from meteors lingers in the mesosphere, causing this layer to have a relatively high concentration of iron and other metal atoms.
