Earth`s track length in meteor swarms is several decimal orders more accurately determined than the other observed characteristics; therefore, I propose to use this value in a number of problems of meteor astronomy. Specifically, the possibility is shown of obtaining such values as the size and form of a stream cross section, upper estimates of orbit element variances, radiant coordinates and particle velocities inside the streams, upper estimates of ejection velocities of meteor particles from nuclei of parent comets and their variances, and also upper estimates of the {open_quotes}age{close_quotes} of meteor swarms.
