How does atmosphere protect inhabitants on earths surface?
Besides providing oxygen to breathe, the atmosphere protects us from ultraviolet radiation (thanks to the ozone layer), meteors and meteorites (which burn up from the friction), and excesses of heat and cold (by spreading the sun's heat more or less equally around the Earth, and insulating us from the worst of it).
How do meteorites brun?
Meteorites are 'burned' during their meteor phase in which they light up due to the friction of Earth's atmosphere caused by their rapid descent and the increasing thickness of the atmosphere.
Which layer from the atmosphere is in risk?
