The fraction of splash albedo radiation leaving the earth which goes into (bound) orbits leading back to the earth is discussed in the Stoermer approximation. It is shown that the returning particles arrive at latitudes very close to the latitudes from which they leave the earth. A qualitative argument indicates that the returning radiation should be roughly isotropic.
