Water cycle is correct!
evaperation
the atmosphere
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
As a rock is falling through the atmosphere, it is a meteor. When it hits the earths surface, it is a meteoroid.
Water cycle is correct!
water cycle.
The water in large water bodies evaporate easily through sunlight. The condition of atmosphere also affect the path of watercycle. In cold weather conditions, less amount of water gets evaporated and so on.
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.
When a rocket is launched, it travels through atmosphere. It has to travel through all layers.

No, the earth's atmosphere reflects and absorbs x-rays, so they do not make it to the surface.

The higher in the sky the sun is the more solar radiation received at the surface. This is because as the sun gets higher in the sky, there is less atmosphere blocking the sun's rays. Imagine the sun going through the atmosphere at a 90 degree angle. The thickness of the atmosphere let say is x thick. As the sun hit the surface at a lower angle, the thickness of the atmosphere has to go through more atmosphere to get to the surface. So the thicker atmosphere blocks more of the sun's rays.
The atmosphere is transparent to the visible light of the Sun. So it passes right through, only to get absorbed by the surface of the Earth.
