Original Note:
There will not be atmospheric interaction with particles from Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS soon, because at its closest approach to Earth (Oct 12), it was 185 times further away than the Moon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C/2023_A3_(Tsuchinshan%E2%80%93ATLAS) https://earthsky.org/space/comet-c-2023-a3-sep-oct-2024-tsuchinshan-atlas/ Other comet particles regularly enter Earth's atmosphere and are not dangerous. https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/meteor-shower/en/ https://amsmeteors.org/meteor-showers/meteor-faq/#:~:text=While%20quite%20spectacular%20to%20watch,protected%20by%20miles%20of%20atmosphere.
