The heart of the visible meteor Zenithal Hourly Rate (ZHR) formula is the correction factor for shower radiant angular altitude (or zenith angle). This correction factor is primarily an effect of the geometry between the incident shower meteor flux vector and the oblique target area presented by the atmospheric "meniscus" visible to a single observer on the surface of the Earth. Presented in this paper is a detailed analysis of the full geometric portion of this correction factor, for apparent radiant altitudes both above and below the local horizon, and with the radiant zenith attraction effect also included. This analysis opens the way toward a better understanding of the non-geometric effects within the complete correction factor, which must currently be derived empirically.
