RE: (meteorobs) Radiant Diameter vs Radiant Activity

slightly different orbits will give the appearance of a streams width here 
on
earth. Actual stream thickness has nothing to do with apparent radiant
diameter if I understand this correctly?<


George:  Going a little astray, it just occurred to me, the actual stream 
thickness you mention will have one effect:   The thicker (wider) the 
stream, the greater the distance Earth must travel to pass through it, and 
the greater the distance the radiant would seem to migrate across the sky 
due to Earth's motion around the Sun.   If there were a stream wider than 
Earth's orbit  through which Earth was perpetually passing (yes, an 
impossibility, but bear with me a minute),  would not then the radiant move 
all the way around the sky on a circle parallel to the ecliptic -- that is, 
the radiant would always have the same ecliptical latitude during its 
journey around the sky?
