But Mars does have an atmosphere. Its surface air density is about the same as Earth's at a height of 31 km, and far more than the density in the region of Earth's atmosphere where we typically see meteors. Presumably, meteors begin burning somewhat lower on Mars, and have a greater chance of

Hey Mike, It's a thin atmosphere, but Mars does /have/ an atmosphere - it's about 1% the density of Earth's. At the kind of speeds we're talking about, I don't see why ablation would be a problem. Space probes such as the ill-fated Beagle 2 use a heatshield for the initial entry prior to

Chris beat me to this. The scale height of Earth's atmosphere is about 6 km and Mars is about 11. So, in the range where meteors burn up and where aerobraking is important, th martian atmosphere is comparable to Earth's. I thought that it was still a little thinner than Earth, but will not argue

Two other points-- at that distance from the sun, the orbital valocities would be lower, and shouldn't the number of meteorite hits be higher? (Being closer to the main belt.) (I could look up the formula and crunch the nubers myself, but why not let someone else do it?)
