In which layer does temperature decrease with height and meteor burning is also associated?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mesosphere
The mesosphere lies above the stratosphere. In this layer, temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude, reaching extremely low values near its upper boundary. Many meteoroids also become heated by atmospheric friction and burn or fragment there, producing visible meteors. Therefore, option C combines both clues correctly. The other layers do not normally provide this same combination of temperature trend and meteor activity.
