The layer protect us from space debris?
Atmosphere protects us from space debris. It is a combination of various layers.
Why might you call the ozone layer a space shield?
Since ultraviolet radiation from the sun does have to travel through outer space in order to reach the Earth, you could say that it comes from space, and therefore the ozone layer which protects against solar ultraviolet radiation is a kind of space shield.
Why do you call the ozone layer a space shield?
Ozone is a space shield. It protects us from harmful radiations of the sun.
What layer protect us from meteorit impacts?
The mesosphere layer protects us from being hit by objects falling from space, like meteoroids. These objects burn up in this layer.
Does the ozone layer prevent heat from escaping to space?
Yes, it does. It also protects us from CFC's.

What thing located in space protects the earth and from what?
the ozone layer protects the earth from the suns harsh rays
Which layer of atmosphere does most space debris burn up?
The mesosphere! :)

How would the atmosphere protect people?
There are many ways in which the atmosphere protects us. The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere we live in. It contains weather. The stratosphere contains the Ozone Layer. This layer protects us from UV rays The mesosphere has low temperatures and burns meteors. This stops objects in space that can harm the earth.
Why is the ozone layer esential to life on earth?
It keeps us from burning to ashes and protects us from "space trash" like satellites that don't work anymore and asteroids
What happens to all the space debris and is there a danger from it?
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.

What layer of the earth has shooting stars and meteorites?
A meteorite is an object from space that has hit the surface of earth. Therefore you will find them at the bottom of the troposphere. However, you were probably refering to meteors. Most meteors are visible in the lower themosphere or upper troposphere.
What common space debris was credited with the formation of water on planet earth?
It is comets.
