The source of meteor showers is debris which is constantly moving around in space. As it enters the atmosphere, it is quickly burnt up and very little actually makes it to the ground.
A lot of the debris close to earth will end up coming back to the planet eventually, most of it will burn up in the atmosphere. It's not really dangerous to us on earth, but will present some danger to things in space, particularly close to the earth as more space debris accumulates.
The energy from the sun enters the atmsphere as radiation. This radiation is tranmited to the earth in the form of short waves of radiation. These waves hit the ground.Through radiation.

a meteor is a peace of rock or other debris from outer space that burns up as it enters earth's atmosphere
Atmosphere protects us from space debris. It is a combination of various layers.
A meteoroid is a small piece of space debris in the solar system. When a meteoroid enters the Earths atmosphere it becomes a meteor (shooting star).If the meteoroid survives the atmosphere and lands on the Earth, it becomes a meteorite.

The mesosphere! :)

This is commonly known as meteorites.
