In order to discuss the benefit of whitelight observations for the understanding of dust close to the sun, the optical brightness of the Fraunhofer-corona in the visual spectral range within the ecliptic is studied in detail. The contribution of near-solar dust to the brightness is calculated and optical particle properties are derived. The brightness of the F-corona is found to result predominantly from near-solar dust and to point to a change of particle properties with solar distance r. We explain the color of the F-corona by diffraction effects, whereas the spectral variation of the albedo of dust particles has only a minor influence on the color. The polarization is shown to result from near-solar dust. A comparison of the derived polarization and albedo with optical properties known for surface structures in the Solar System shows no compatibility.
