Answer 1

The correct statement that describes the mesosphere is:

Meteors burn up in this layer to create shooting stars.

The mesosphere is the third layer of Earth's atmosphere, located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere, and it is where most meteors burn up upon entering the Earth's atmosphere. The other statements are inaccurate regarding the mesosphere.
