Recent micrometeorite flux curves and optical results about the radial distribution of interplanetary dust particles obtained by the Helios space probes provide valuable criteria for interpretation of zodiacal light measurements. It is shown that models based on Mie-theory and small (less than about 1 micron) particles are no longer consistent with observational results. The main contribution to zodiacal light seems to be based on larger (greater than 10 microns) particles. It is shown, by model calculations and by results of microwave analog measurements, that if polarization is taken into account, absorbing particles of fluffy structure are possibly an important component of the interplanetary dust cloud.
