A model of zodiacal light IR radiation is generalized to encompass the effects of scattered sunlight. The model is compared with existing data on scattered visible light in order to test compatibility between IR and visible data, so that both can be explained by a single, self-consistent model of the interplanetary dust. Both the IR emission and the visible scattering calculations are based on the Mie equation, with the optical constants of the interplanetary dust being the input parameters. The space and size distributions of the dust particles are explicitly parameterized. The results show that the IR and visible data are compatible, and can be matched by adjusting the continuous opacity within reasonable bounds.
