In which layer does temperature decrease with height and meteors burn?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mesosphere
In the mesosphere, temperature generally decreases as altitude rises, reaching very low values near its upper boundary. Many meteoroids burn there because they collide with atmospheric gases at high speed, producing frictional heating and ablation. Option A combines both identifying features. The stratosphere warms with height, while the thermosphere and exosphere lie above the main meteor-burning region.
