Correct Answer: Mesosphere
Solution : The correct option is the Mesosphere .
Meteorites burn up in the mesosphere, the third layer of Earth's atmosphere. As they enter space, friction with air molecules at high speeds causes intense heating, leading to their combustion. This layer acts as a shield, protecting the Earth's surface from many incoming meteoroids.
