No. Meteors are just tiny bits of ice, rock or dust flying through the Earth's atmosphere and buring up. Usually there is nothing left after that. Even when something large goes through, they are very fast. Blowing them up, if you could, would break them into many parts, so from having one large one, you could have hundreds or thousands of small ones still coming, so it would achieve nothing.

∙ 7y agoA meteorite is a piece of rock or metal from space that has already hit the surface. Blowing one up would be possible but pointless and probably a bad idea. Meteorites can be worth a lot of money, larger ones generally being more valuable.
Such a rock that is still in space is called a meteoroid or, if it is larger, an asteroid. While we could potentially blow up an asteroid that is threatening Earth, scientists generally agree that it would be a bad idea. Blowing up an asteroid does not make it go away; it just breaks it up into smaller pieces. Those pieces can still hit Earth, and with more of them coming at us, there is a greater chance that at least one of them will hit a populated area.

What objects are found in the mesosphere?
Meteors that blow up are found in the mesosphere.

yes they would because of the inpacke of them do to speed and the heat from both of them.I may be wrong and if iam then iam sorry.
What is the difference between meteors and stars?
Meteors are made up of rocks and ice and dust from space where as shooting stars are falling stars.

Why do meteors burn up in the Mesosphere?
Meteors burn up in the Mesosphere because of friction between the meteors and the molecules located here. The mesosphere is the coldest part of the Earth's atmosphere.

How do meteors disappear?
Meteors do not just disappear. Meteors either land somewhere on Earth out of site or they just burn up in the atmosphere.
What a meteors made out of?
This can vary a lot between different meteors; the main classification, if I remember correctly, is between "ice meteors" that are made up mainly of ice, and "rock meteors", out of rocky materials.
What machine dealt the final blow?
Darington
Where to meteors happen?
Meteors are seen in the sky when huge space junk enter the atmosphere and burn up.
How do meteors burn in space?
They don't. Meteors only burn when they enter the tmosphere, where the friction burns them up.
How do you clean a blow up doll?
There are many ways to clean a blow up doll. You can take it in the shower, if things get messy make sure to clean it again! You can wash it in the washing machine, make sure it is on cold. You can spray water in it.
Does the atmosphere protect us from meteors?
It does to some extent. Rocky meteors typically burn up as they pass through our thick atmosphere. Nickel-iron meteors can burn up, but usually have the mass to punch through to some degree.
