To correctly take into account the solar wind drag equations for secular variations in the meteoroid orbital semimajor axes and eccentricities were obtained. The equations are similar to those derived for the Poynting- Robertson radiation drag (Wyatt and Whipple 1950). An estimation for the Geminid meteoroid stream shows that the ratios of corpuscular to radiation drags are 0.4 – 0.7 for particles of size $> 10 \mu m$, i.e. the effect is much stronger than was assumed before.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
