What takes place in the ionosphere?
It burns up stuff coming in to our orbit. With out this many meteoroids would hit us . Big or small
What are extraterrestrial particles that glow brightly and burn up as they travel through Earth's atmosphere?
Meteoroids
Do asteroids comets and meteoroids pose danger to earth?
Meteoroids generally do not pose much of a risk as they are generally small enough to burn up in the atmosphere, and do not reach the surface. Asteroids and comets are larger and can cause potentially catastrophic damage if they strike Earth.
What is the ionosphere made up of?
The ionosphere exists because of the absorption of radiation from the sun. It is made up of electrically charged gas particles.
How do you describe the ionosphere?
The ionosphere can be described as the upper atmosphere of the planet Earth. It is made up of electrons, atoms, and molecules.
In what layer to meteoroids burn up in?
Meteoroids burn up in the Mesosphere. Even though the Mesosphere is the coldest layer, the meteoroids burn up from getting too cold. Meteoroids are also more commonly known as "shooting stars".
In what layer of the atmosphere does meteoroids burn up?
MESOSPHERE
Do most the meteoroids burn up the stratosphere?
yes

Are meteoroids hot?
That depends. Meteoroids are pretty cold when they float around in space. When they enter our atmosphere, they get super hot and usually burn up in the thermospere.
The glowing tails that result when meteoroids burn up in Earth's atmosphere are called?
Meteors.
What are small extraterrestrial particles that glow brightly and burn up as they travel through earths atmosphere is it asteroids or microcomets or mesocoronas or meteoroids?
That's a description of meteoroids.
Why do meteoroids burn up as they approach earth but not the moon?
The Earth has an atmosphere around it.The Thermosphere is the top-most layer of the atmosphere.The troposphere is the lowest part of the atmosphere.Unlike Earth,the Moon has no atmosphere.That's why meteoroids don't burn up before they hit the surface.Even though the Earth's atmosphere is immense,sometimes meteoroids get through the atmosphere.
What are extraterrestrial particles that glow brightly and burn up as they travel through Earth's atmosphere?
Meteoroids
Do most the meteoroids burn up the stratospheretrue or false?
True. The vast majority of meteoroids burn up in the atmosphere, and reach the ground only as dust, after drifting around in the atmosphere for some time. (The stuff you wipe off the top of the TV set? Some of it is probably meteor dust.)
Why do all planets with and without atmospheres collide with meteoroids?
All planets, both with and without atmospheres, encounter meteoroids. If the planet has an atmosphere then those meteoroids will burn up long before reaching the surface. Those without atmospheres do not have such protection and so the meteoroids strike the surface directly.
What do meteoroids and asteroids have in common?
Both meteoroid's and comets are made out of rock and burn up when getting into earths atmosphere.
