Re: (meteorobs) Radiant Diameter vs Radiant Activity Period

Particle density, George. Try this one: Driving in a very light snowfall
you will notice that the radius of the radiant appears much larger than it
does when traveling in blizzard conditions.
If there are fewer particles in general (spread out over a larger area)
then a proportioanally smaller number emanate from near the center, making
the radius appear larger.

Can't say I've ever noticed this effect before...dot it doesn't seem to be the
case that would apply here also. It might have something to do with not being
around much snow here in S. Calif.
