What layer of the atmosphere are Meteors in?
In the mesosphere
What layer of the atmosphere meteors in?
In the mesosphere
Are meteors extinct?
No, meteors are not extinct. Meteors are commonly seen in the Earth's atmosphere as shooting stars when they burn up upon entry. They are remnants of debris from space that enter the Earth's atmosphere.
Does the atmosphere protect us from meteors?
It does to some extent. Rocky meteors typically burn up as they pass through our thick atmosphere. Nickel-iron meteors can burn up, but usually have the mass to punch through to some degree.
Why can't astronomers use a telescope to study the entire surface of the moon?
Astronomers cannot use a telescope to study the entire surface of the moon because the moon is tidally locked with Earth, meaning only one side (the near side) is visible from our perspective. The other side (far side) is never visible from Earth due to the moon's synchronous rotation.
What is the climate on a meteor?
Meteors don't have climates. To have a climate, you need an atmosphere. Meteors have no atmosphere.
Where at in the atmosphere are meteors located?
earth's upper atmosphere.
Do meteors have cells?

What protect earth from meteors?
Its atmosphere.
What layer of the atmosphere are Meteors in?
In the mesosphere
What layer of the atmosphere meteors in?
In the mesosphere
Why do meteors shine?
Meteors shine because of gases that burn in Earth's atmosphere. The friction caused by traveling in the atmosphere ignites the gases.
What layer in the atmosphere do meteors come from?
Meteors originate in the mesosphere, which is the third layer of the Earth's atmosphere located between the stratosphere and the thermosphere. This layer is where most meteors burn up upon entering the atmosphere due to the friction with the air molecules.
Are meteors extinct?
No, meteors are not extinct. Meteors are commonly seen in the Earth's atmosphere as shooting stars when they burn up upon entry. They are remnants of debris from space that enter the Earth's atmosphere.
How do meteors disappear?
Meteors do not just disappear. Meteors either land somewhere on Earth out of site or they just burn up in the atmosphere.
How do meteors orbit the sun?
Meteors do not orbit the Sun. Meteors are to be found/seen in the Earth's atmosphere burning up. Before they enter the Earths atmosphere they are called meteoroids and if they land on Earth they are called meteorites.
A rock that crashes into the earths atmosphere?
Meteors :)
