Meteors burn up in the high atmosphere. If they land on Earth, they become meteorites.
The 3rd layer of the atmosphere - Mesosphere
The mesosphere, 50-85 km up from the surface.
because of weathering
The atmosphere, mainly the mesosphere.
It has no atmosphere to burn up incoming meteors
Small meteors may burn up as they travel through the atmosphere, but larger ones do get through the atmosphere and land on the surface of the Earth.
The entire atmosphere will burn up small asteroids (meteors), but larger ones will strike the Earth. This is how the Caribbean Sea was created.
Yes, meteors hit everyday, but burn up in are atmosphere
The zone - or layer - that sits above the stratosphere is the mesosphere. This layer extends from about 50 km (or 31 miles) to around 85 km (or 53 miles) above the surface of the Earth. The mesosphere is where meteors will burn up as they enter the atmosphere. The temperature of this layer decreases with height.

Temperatures decrease in the third layer of the atmosphere the mesosphere. This is where meteors burn up and cause shooting stars.
The mesosphere is where meteorites burn up. Most people call them shooting stars.
The mesosphere is the coldest layer in our atmosphere because it is right above the ozone layer.Hurricanes form in this layerMost meteors burn up in this layer, as well.
Atmosphere.
Meteors start to glow in the Mesosphere, and usually burn out in the upper Stratosphere. Put another way, when you first see a meteor, it is about 80 miles up, and when it "goes out" it is about 40 miles up.
They may burn up while travelling through the earth's atmosphere.
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.

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.
Meteors are seen in the sky when huge space junk enter the atmosphere and burn up.
