A meteor shower is a luminous phenomenon that takes place by the entry into the Earths atmosphere of a cascade of particles coming from a stream intersected by our planet in its orbit. Here we investigate the possibility of a description of the mass distribution of meteoroids in meteor showers int terms of a non extensive formulation, which could shed light and give some insight into the origin of such particles.
