What is a true fact about the mesosphere?
A
it is the hottest layer
B
meteors burn up here
C
the ozone layer is found here
D
Northern Lights happen here
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some people call them shooting stars. 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 meteors will travel through the exosphere and thermosphere without much trouble due to the lack of air in those layers, but when they hit the middle layer, there are enough gases to cause friction and create heat to burn up in the Mesosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mesosphere is directly above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It extends from about 50 to 85 km (31 to 53 miles) above our planet. Temperature decreases with height throughout the mesosphere. The coldest temperatures in Earth’s atmosphere, about-90° C (-130° F), are found near the top of this layer.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mesosphere is the third and coldest layer of Earth’s atmosphere, reaching about 130 degrees below zero. The mesosphere is also where most meteors, or space rocks and metal, burn up before they can crash to the ground. It’s like a superhero’s force field that protects the Earth!

Detailed explanation-5: -The mesosphere breaks up meteors It’s in the mesosphere where it serves as a shield for meteorites. Friction in the mesosphere burns up meteors. Then, they disintegrate into small pieces of dust.

Detailed explanation-6: -Location. Mesosphere : The third layer of the atmosphere. Middle Atmosphere. Mesosphere: Meteors burn in this layer. Transition Region. Each atmosphere layer has a transition region at the point where one ends and the other begins. Temperature. Clouds. Nightglow. Strong Winds. Sounding Rockets.
