An investigation is presented of the motion of a meteoroid particle in the rarefied layers of the atmospheres of the earth, Venus, and Mars, with allowance for its nonstationary heating and change in shape due to vaporization. Numerical calculations are performed for a series of stony meteoroid particles, with sizes less than 1 mm for initial entry velocities of 15-60 km/s and entry angles of 10-90 deg. An assessment is made of meteoroid ablation rate and temperature, luminescence intensity, and the electron density of the meteor trail at successive moments of time of the meteor's passage through the atmosphere. For the earth's atmosphere, results are compared with known approximate solutions of the physical theory of meteors and with observational results.
