Dust particles exist around the Earth's orbit per tens of meters square and are replenished from asteroids and comets. Principal force on these particles except for gravitational forces from the Sun and planets is solar radiation pressure which involves drag force known as P-R drag. Its force reduces dust's mechanical energy and a dust ends up spiralling in towards the Sun. This behavior of the dust provides the possibility that a dust passing near the Earth can be trapped in a horseshoe orbit by the gravity of the Earth. In this paper, we assume that a dust is trapped in the orbit and calculate distributions of dust's number density and velocity on the orbit. Furthermore, we analyze the possibility that a dust is trapped or not.
