Answer 1

The correct statement that describes the mesosphere is: Meteors burn up in this layer to create shooting stars.

In the mesosphere, which is located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere, meteors enter from space and burn up due to friction with the atmosphere, creating what we commonly refer to as shooting stars.
