When light hits a surface it experiences reflection and refraction.
Reflection occurs when the incident light bounces back off of the surface. This is the predominant response for highly reflective materials such as silver. Refraction occurs when the incident light travels through the surface. This is the predominant response with transparent materials such as glass. In every material, some light is reflected and some is refracted. However, one or the other is often negligable.
As light moves through the atmosphere, it continues to go straight until it bumps into a bit of dust or a gas molecule.
Simply put, because it bumps into things as it travels though a solid.

Sound can pass through any substance. Most familiar is sound passing through air, which allows us to hear things in our daily lives. Sound also travels through water, allowing whales to sing, and naval vessels to use Sonar. When sound travels through the ground it allows us to, for example, find the origin of earth-quakes.
Yes, they are the same things. Radiant energy is energy that travels in waves through space and air. Radiation is the movement of energy through spaces as waves. So yes, they practically are the same things.----Louise Marcade Denic----

two things that may happen to the meteoroid is that it might burn or collide with the Earth.

inside the nose, tiny hairs clean the air by catching dirt and other particles. the air also warms as it travels through the nose.
Catastrophic weather events have happened since the Earth was formed. They can happen when things in the atmosphere radically change.

we would not have tv or lamps or any watchable things.
Geochemical cycling refers to the movement of chemical elements through the earth, water, atmosphere, and living things.
