Earth is protected from small debris from space by the?
Most of the small meteors and space 'trash' burn up in the stratosphere. The moon also catches some of this debris and larger meteoroids and comets are often deflected away from us or captured by Jupiter but some day a large meteor or comet could hit us.
Do nuclear power plants burn holes in the ozone layer?
I doubt they do because they are supposed to reduce and help global warming.
What purpose is the Layers Panel used?
In terms of Photoshop the Layer panel is used to add/remove/enhance/dodge/burn the specific part of the picture, the layer panel is used to do digital correction to the image.
Why do humans live on the outside layer of the earth?
If we did not live on the outer layer of the Earth also known as the crust we would burn to death because it is so hot down below because the core of the Earth is so hot
How can you describe astroids?
Asteroids and Meteoroids were created when the universe was created or as a result of a collision.
In what layer of the atmosphere does meteoroids burn up?
MESOSPHERE
What atmospheric layer protects the earth from meteoroids?
The mesosphere is the atmospheric layer that protects the Earth from meteoroids. As meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in this layer due to friction with air molecules, preventing them from reaching the surface.
In which atmospheric layer do most meteoroids break up?
Most meteoroids break up in the mesosphere, which is the layer of the atmosphere located between the stratosphere and the thermosphere. This is where most meteoroids encounter enough friction and pressure from the atmosphere to burn up and disintegrate before reaching the Earth's surface.
Which layer of the atmosphere protects earth surface from being hit by most meteorids?
The mesosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that protects the Earth's surface from most meteoroids. Meteoroids burn up in this layer due to the high temperature caused by the friction with the air molecules.
Why does meteoroids strike mercury but not earth?
Meteoroids are more likely to strike Mercury because its proximity to the sun results in a denser population of meteoroids in its vicinity. Additionally, Mercury's lack of a substantial atmosphere means there is no protective layer to burn up meteoroids before they reach the surface. Earth's atmosphere, on the other hand, acts as a shield, causing most meteoroids to burn up before they reach the surface.
Why do meteoroids burn up as they approach earth but not the moon?
The Earth has an atmosphere around it.The Thermosphere is the top-most layer of the atmosphere.The troposphere is the lowest part of the atmosphere.Unlike Earth,the Moon has no atmosphere.That's why meteoroids don't burn up before they hit the surface.Even though the Earth's atmosphere is immense,sometimes meteoroids get through the atmosphere.
What layer burns meteroids?
The meteoroids mainly burn up in the mesosphere layer, between around 50 to 90 km in altitude. When seen burning up in the sky from earth they then are referred to as meteors.
Do most the meteoroids burn up the stratosphere?
yes
What is the 3rd layer of the atmosphere?
The third layer of the atmosphere is the mesosphere. It is located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. The mesosphere is where most meteoroids burn up upon entering the Earth's atmosphere.
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 layer in the atmosphere has most meteoroids break up?
Usually the troposphere.
Which layer of the atmosphere protects Earth's surface from being hit by the most meteoroids?
The mesosphere protects the earth from most meteoroids.
