We used well know phase functions of satellites and rings around the giant planets of our Solar System to study the morphology of the opposition effect (at phase angles alpha < 20 degrees, see Déau et al. 2009, Planetary and Space Science, vol. 57, p.1282-1301). To avoid the effect of the variable finite size of the Sun, we use a deconvolution morphological model to retrieve the morphological parameters of the surge (A and HWHM). These parameters are found to have a non-monotonic variation with the single scattering albedo, similar to that observed in asteroids (Belskaya and Shevchenko, 2000, Icarus, vol. 147, p.94-105), which is unexplained so far. The nonmonotonic variation is discussed in the framework of the coherent backscattering and shadow hiding mechanisms.
