The work we present deals with the spectrometric measurements of VIRTIS instrument of the Rosetta mission to the Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (C-G). The dust important constituent of cometary environment is always present on the surface of the nucleus and in the inner coma. The cometary spectra are strongly affected by the processes taking place in the coma and by the structure and composition of cometary materials. The particles of the dust , illuminated by solar light, scatter, absorb and emit radiation. The reflected and the emitted radiation are transmitted through the coma region before being collected by instruments such as VIRTIS .The reflection, absorption, scattering, and emission processes depend on the Comet-Sun geometry and on the thermal state of the nucleus. The main purposes of the paper are: 1) short review of the published models related to the topic of presence and distribution of the solid particles in the inner coma of the Comet 67/P (C-G) 2) description of numerical calculations done by means of an radiation transfer model and comparison the simulated radiance spectra 3) discussion on influence the geometry of the measurements and the particular parameters of the thermal models taken in consideration. 4) demonstration of simulated spectra of the total directional radiance which can help to recognize the optical characteristics of constituents of the environment of Comet 67P/(C-G) References J.Agarwal; M.Müller, G.Eberhard, Dust Environment Modelling of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko; Space Science Reviews, 128,1-4,2007 M.
