Because even the smallest of stars are >1000 times bigger than the Earth, stars would not burn up in our atmosphere, but instead just annihilate everything in it's path, but there's no need to worry the closest star is16.308 light-years from the Solar System, and the universe is actually expanding so no stars are going to annihilate the earth.

In what layer to meteoroids burn up in?
Meteoroids burn up in the Mesosphere. Even though the Mesosphere is the coldest layer, the meteoroids burn up from getting too cold. Meteoroids are also more commonly known as "shooting stars".
What happens to a meteroid when it hits earth's atmosphere?
It burns up. Or if too big to burn completely, it will be a fireball. Do NOT try to catch them with your bate hands.
What happens when you burn radioactive materials?
In that case, the radioactive materials will pollute the atmosphere.
What are the effects of atmospheric drag on satellites?
Drag causes the satellites to drop further into the earth's atmosphere. The further the s/c (spacecraft, in the case of your question, a satellite) dips into the earth's atmosphere the greater the effects of atmospheric drag. Eventually, it can cause the s/c to burn up in the earth's atmosphere. - Senior majoring in Aerospace Engineering
What happened to Sputnik after it was out of space?
Satellites in low orbit are affected by drag from the very top layer of the atmosphere. This drag eventually slows them down, which brings them in contact with denser layers of atmosphere, which slows them down and brings them down even more. Eventually, they burn up by the heat from rushing real fast through the air.
Do shooting stars collide with other stars?
Shooting stars are not stars. They are bits of dirt and dust that burn up in our atmosphere. As they fly through our atmosphere they briefly look stars, which is how the names shooting or falling stars have come about, but they are not stars. Were such a piece of dirt to head toward a star, it would burn up long before it got anywhere close to it, so it could not hit it. A shooting star is usually what most call meteors and burn up in earths atmosphere giving the appearance of a falling star.
How does the birth of shooting stars work?
A meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and begins to burn up.
What layer of the atmosphere does a shooting star occur?
The mesosphere is where meteorites burn up. Most people call them shooting stars.
How were shooting stars made?
Shooting stars are not actually stars, but rather small particles or fragments of rock and dust called meteoroids that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction with the air. This creates the streak of light that we see in the sky.
Why do meteorites burn up?
They burn up because of friction in the atmosphere
Why are meteors mistakenly called shooting stars and what are they are made of?
Meteors are just bits of dust, dirt or debris in space that enter Earth's atmosphere. They are often from comets. As they enter our atmosphere they burn up and fly through it. They look like stars shooting through the sky, hence the common names shooting stars or falling stars.
What do you call peices of stone that enter the earths atmosphere?
Pieces of stone that enter the Earth's atmosphere are called meteoroids. Upon entering the atmosphere and creating a bright streak of light as they burn up, they are called meteors or shooting stars. If a meteor survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Where do meteorits burn up?
In the atmosphere
How do some stars become shooting stars?
Shooting stars are not stars. They are bits of dirt and dust that burn up in our atmosphere, briefly making them look like stars. Most of that is debris is from comets or others bits of dirt in space, but they are not stars and were not stars. So stars do not become shooting stars.
Does a meteorite burn the Earth's atmosphere?
No. The atmosphere burns up the meteorite.
When do meteors burn up?
They may burn up while travelling through the earth's atmosphere.
Can shooting stars be a part of constellations?
Shooting stars are not actually stars but rather meteors that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up, so they are not part of constellations. Constellations are patterns of stars as seen from Earth, and shooting stars move too quickly to be part of a fixed pattern.
