Open full text 4 citations

Abstract

An introduction to definitions and methods used for interpretation of zodiacal light is given together with a short summary of observational results. After this, predictions for probing the zodiacal light by an out of ecliptic space probe and possibilities of explaining the scattering of interplanetary and cometary dust by irregular and fluffy particles are presented.
