Fraction of impacts on terrestrial bodies over time. We define T as the interval from injection of the particle into the J3:1 to impact on a planet. The total impact probability is 5.4 × 10−3 for Venus, 4.2 × 10−3 for Earth, and 0.6 × 10−3 for Mars. Only particles entering the resonance with osculating inclination ≤7﹩\mathop{.}\limits^{{\unicode{x000b0}}}﹩5 were considered. Data were constructed using simulations performed by D. Nesvorný et al. (2023).
