The probability of the fall of interplanetary bodies of the Apollo-Amor type to planetary surfaces
Abstract
The influence of secular gravitational perturbations of orbits of the Apollo-Amor-type interplanetary bodies on their collision probabilities with Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars has been studied. New formulae for calculating the probability of the interplanetary bodies falling upon the surfaces of these planets have been obtained. A new method is suggested for the estimation of meteor orbits' cosmic weight.
