AbstractWhen meteoroids enter the area of the Earth’s gravitational field, their speed, number density and space flux can be changed gradually with the evolution of their position. In the era of space navigation, finding out the detail distribution of meteoroids in near Earth space is quite necessary. In this work, we process the Schiaparelli’s theory of the flux distribution of meteoroid stream over again, extend his theory to be applicable in near Earth space, and find that, in a certain area, the flux of a meteoroid stream can increase ten times and even more to form a local meteor storm. The similar case about the Moon treated with Schiaparelli’s theory is also presented in the discussion.
