Scientific paper

The zodiacal dust cloud's mass loss rate, which is an important factor in the consideration of its steady state, has in the past been indirectly estimated on the basis of the inward mass flux of interplanetary grains at 1 AU. The rate is presently investigated on the basis of direct calculations of the orbital behavior of circumsolar dust grains undergoing sublimation. It is found that the solar dust ring located at 4 solar radii from the sun, which consists of grains whose Poynting-Robertson effect inward spiraling is stopped by the influence of sublimation, loses its mass at a rate of 0.35-3.5 tons/sec.
