The composition and density of meteoroids has been the subject of a number of investigations in recent years. Analysis of photographic meteor data have been presented by Jacchia et al (1967). Verniani (1964, 1967, 1969), Benyuch (1968, 1973, 1974), McCrosky and Ceplecha (1969) and others. The density of radio meteors have been studied by Verniani and Hawkins (1965) and Verniani (1966). in the present paper the dependence of meteoroid density on the type of the orbit is discussed.
