Meteors are typically found in the Earth's atmosphere, specifically within the mesosphere, which is located about 50 to 85 kilometers (31 to 53 miles) above the Earth's surface. As meteoroids enter this layer, they encounter atmospheric friction that causes them to heat up and produce a visible streak of light, commonly known as a meteor or "shooting star." If they survive their passage through the atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface, they are then referred to as meteorites.
