SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Meteors are often referred to as shooting stars or falling stars because of the bright tail of light they create as they pass through the sky. Most meteors occur in Earth’s mesosphere, about 50-80 kilometers (31-50 miles) above Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most meteors burn up in the Mesosphere layer of the atmosphere. Mesosphere lies above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere at a height of 50 to 85 KM.

Detailed explanation-3: -An estimated 25 million meteoroids, micrometeoroids and other space debris enter Earth’s atmosphere each day, which results in an estimated 15, 000 tonnes of that material entering the atmosphere each year.

Detailed explanation-4: -iron meteorites: which are almost completely made of metal. stony-iron meteorites: which have nearly equal amounts of metal and silicate crystals. stony meteorites: which mostly have silicate minerals.
