(meteorobs) size/? length of typical meteor
Hi folks:
What is the size of a typical bright visual meteor? Say take the
example of an brighter than -2 Leonids.
Since the theory goes that the green-yellow-orange-red correspond to
result from ionization with element/ions from diff atmo height, can I
infer that they are at least 50+ Km long? (what about the width of the
column ?)
