Model calculations are used to determine the location of interplanetary dust particles that contribute most of the brightness of the zodiacal light as seen from earth, in and out of the ecliptic plane and in the F-corona. It is found that, as one observes in increasing ecliptic latitude (beta), the distance to the earth decreases for dust contributing equal fractions to the line-of-sight brightness. This and other results will help in the analysis of: (1) structures in the observed brightness of the zodiacal light, (2) bands such as those observed by IRAS, (3) temporal variations in the brightness of the zodiacal light, (4) observations of the photometric axis, and (5) past and future observations of the F-corona.
