A model is developed for studying the orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field lines from observations of the degree of circular polarization of zodiacal light as a function of angular distance in the ecliptic plane from the sun. A theoretical discussion on the orientation of interplanetary dust particles and on the circular polarization of zodiacal light due to scattering on dust particles is presented. It is established that there is a regular component of the interplanetary magnetic field whose characteristic time of change is greater than or equal to 10 to the 7th s and whose characteristic scale is 1-3 AU.
