(meteorobs) OT solar wind and meteoroids movement

[Chris Peterson]

A particle large enough to produce a meteor isn't going to pick up 
anything but a weak surface charge. I don't see how that is going to 
have much of a short term affect on its velocity, given the very weak 
electrical and magnetic fields found in interplanetary space.

I imagine that most macroscopic particles are already carrying a surface 
charge, anyway.
