Why do people call asteroids meteors and comets space trashor debris?
People often refer to asteroids, meteors, and comets as space trash or debris because they are remnants from the formation of the solar system that are no longer part of a larger celestial body. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the sun, meteors are asteroids that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, and comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust as they approach the sun. These objects can be considered "trash" in the sense that they are leftover material floating in space.
Are meteors the same as meteoroids?
Not quite. A meteoroid Is a small chunk of debris in space. It only becomes a meteor once it has entered the earth's atmosphere.
What is the difference between meteors and stars?

What to layers of the atmosphere protect us?
Fine, I'll answer your homework question. The layers in the atmosphere block solar radiation, debris such as meteors from space, and allow the force of gravity to exist.
