    Question

    In which of the following atmospheric layers do Meteorites burn up on entering from space?

    A.

    Thermosphere

    B.

    Mesosphere

    C.

    Exosphere

    D.

    Stratosphere

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) Mesosphere
    Explanation:
    ● The Mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere.
    ● When meteorites enter this layer, friction with the air creates enough heat to burn them up, appearing as "shooting stars."
    Information Booster:
    ● Mesosphere is the coldest layer of the atmosphere.
    ● It lies between 50km to 80km above the Earth's surface.
    Additional Knowledge:
    ● Stratosphere – Contains the Ozone layer.
    ● Thermosphere – Contains the Ionosphere; used for radio transmission.
