which statement correctly describes the mesosphere?

Question

the northern lights are visible in this layer
atmospheric changes in this layer cause weather at Earth's surface
meteors burn up in this layer and form shooting stars
commercial airplanes fly through this layer

Answer 1

The correct statement that describes the mesosphere is: "meteors burn up in this layer and form shooting stars."

In the mesosphere, which is located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere, temperatures decrease with altitude, and it is here that most meteors burn up upon entering Earth's atmosphere, creating the phenomenon known as shooting stars.
