Why is the mesosphere linked with the burning of meteors?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because most meteors burn by friction in this layer
When meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere, collisions with air molecules heat their surfaces and make them glow. Many of these visible streaks occur in the mesosphere, where the air is still dense enough to produce substantial resistance. Clouds are mainly associated with the troposphere, ozone is concentrated in the stratosphere, and satellites are not restricted to the mesosphere. Hence, option A is correct.
