The air itself protects us from smaller meteors. They burn up before reaching the surface. It cannot protect us from very large ones.
The atmosphere protects us from harmful radiation from the Sun, regulates Earth's temperature by trapping heat, provides the air we breathe, and helps distribute water around the planet through the water cycle.
It does to some extent. Rocky meteors typically burn up as they pass through our thick atmosphere. Nickel-iron meteors can burn up, but usually have the mass to punch through to some degree.
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.
The moon has no atmosphere, so there is nothing there to burn up the dust and dirt and ice and rocks, turning them into meteors, as happens on Earth. Meteors seen on Earth are so brief and fast and enclosed by the atmosphere, and so far from the Moon that you would not see Earth's meteors from the Moon.The moon has no atmosphere, so there is nothing there to burn up the dust and dirt and ice and rocks, turning them into meteors, as happens on Earth.

Without an atmosphere, meteors would not experience friction or resistance as they enter Earth's atmosphere. This would result in meteors hitting the planet's surface at a much higher velocity and causing more damage upon impact.
The Earth's atmosphere protects us from meteors. When meteors enter our atmosphere, they burn up due to the friction with air molecules, creating the streaks of light we see in the sky. Larger meteors that survive the journey through the atmosphere may impact the Earth's surface.
Ozone layer protects us from UV rays. The outermost layer from meteors.
It protects us from meteors
No, the ozone layer primarily protects Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Meteors can still penetrate Earth's atmosphere and reach the surface regardless of the presence of the ozone layer.
The atmosphere protects us because if we had no atmosphere the sun heat ( ultraviolet radiation ) would go straight to earth and kill us all. with the atmosphere it captures enough heat and keeps the rest out!
Ozone layer is a part of atmosphere. It protects us from the harmful UV rays.
Its like an invisible barrier It protects us from the hard hard hard rays from the sun
The part of atmosphere containing the ozone layer is the stratosphere. It protects us from the harmful UV rays of the sun.
1. helps us breath 2. has perisher so we dint explode (in simplest term's) 3. protects us from meteors 4. keeps earth at a livable temperature
The Ozone layer in the upper Atmosphere protects the Earth from over exposure to UV. The entire Atmosphere protects the Earth from meteors by creating FRICTION on high speed objects entering from outer space. The heat of the Friction burns up meteors. These two protective devices are two different mechanisms.
Stratospheric part contains the ozone. It protects us from the UV rays.
The atmosphere completely protects us from meteoroids. The pressure of atmosphere causes them to explode.
