A shooting star, or meteor, is a space rock entering Earth's atmosphere and burning up due to friction. It can be seen in the mesosphere, the third layer of Earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere.

What layer of sun's atmosphere can normally be seen?

The layer of the Sun's atmosphere that can normally be seen is the photosphere. This is the visible surface of the Sun that emits light and heat and is responsible for the majority of the sunlight we receive on Earth.


Could a shooting star be seen even if there was no atmosphere?

No the dust that came off a comet or something in space would not be able to burn up it would fall to earth.

Ozone layer is diminishing most over poles. It has been seen in Antarctica.


Why people don't believe in the ozone layer?

People do not believe in ozone layer as they haven't seen it. It is located far above in atmosphere.


What is the largest layer of the suns atmasphere?

The largest layer of the Sun's atmosphere is the corona. It is the outermost layer, extending millions of kilometers into space. The corona is most easily seen during a total solar eclipse.


What is a sky?

A wide space, an atmosphere, as seen from the surface of the Earth that contains a layer of gases which are held in place by Earth's gravity.


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.


The layer of the suns atmosphere that looks like a halo during a eclipse?

The layer of the Sun's atmosphere that looks like a halo during a solar eclipse is the corona. The corona is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere and is only visible during a total solar eclipse when the Moon blocks out the bright surface of the Sun, allowing the wispy corona to be seen extending around the edges of the eclipsed Sun.


What do you use to see the sun's hot corona?

We can only see the sun's corona (the outer layer of its atmosphere) during a solar eclipse. During the regular day, the sun's photosphere (inner layer of its atmosphere) and cromosphere (middle layer of its atmosphere) are brighter than the corona so it can't be seen. People actually shouldn't even be looking at the sun directly to try and see the corona.


In which layer of the atmosphere do stratus clouds form?

Stratus clouds typically form in the lowest layer of the atmosphere known as the troposphere. They are often seen at lower altitudes, usually below 6,500 feet, and can cover large areas of the sky with their flat, uniform appearance.


What is the only layer of earth that people have actually seen?

The only layer we have seen is the crust, or outermost layer.
