Thermal emission and scattered sunlight from interplanetary dust produce the zodiacal light, which dominates the infrared sky brightness for telescopes outside the Earth's atmosphere. Far brighter than typical astronomical sources, the zodiacal light poses problems for detection of light from outside the Solar System. Similarly, the thermal emission and scattered starlight from dust around other stars is a source of confusion in searching for extrasolar planets. In this review, I summarized what we know about the zodiacal light, emphasizing issues that might be relevant for designing missions to detect terrestrial planets around other stars.
