IN ordinary circumstances, about three meteors are visible per hour at a given place. Such average meteors are visible at a distance of at least 100 km., and their mass seems to be in the neighbourhood of 6 × 10-3 gm.1. Thus the mass falling per hour on an area of order 3 × 1014 cm.2is about 2 × 10-2 gm. ; or 6 × 10-17 gm. per square centimetre. Taking the density as 3, we find that the rate of accumulation is 2 × 10-17 cm. thickness per hour or 2 × 10-5 cm. in 100 million years.
