One of the important dissipative processes, continuously but not randomly affecting smaller meteoroids in interplanetary space has been shown to be impact erosion mainly caused by their mutual collisions with zodiacal dust particles. The efficiency of impact erosion in dependence on heliocentric distance is discussed, taking into account the particle concentration of the eroding medium, the collision frequency proportional to the eroding particle flux and the particle energy. Numerical analysis shows that the decay of dust particles in the Solar System is determined not only by their falling into the solar corona but also by total destruction and/or total hyperbolic escape due to impact erosion, regardless of other stronger effects such as catastrophic collisions or corpuscular solar wind sputtering.
