Scientific paper

Attention is given to the effects of the inner planets' perturbations on the dynamics of small particles that produce the zodiacal light through the scattering of sunlight; other forces acting on the particles include radiation forces and the interaction with the solar wind. The dynamical evolution of dust in interplanetary space is investigated in view of the combined effects of these perturbations, as well as the gravitational perturbations of Venus, Mars, the earth, and Jupiter, yielding sample trajectories illustrating such common occurrences as nonmonotonic changes in the semimajor axis, eccentricity, and inclination of nodes. These are demonstrated to be due to the inner planets rather than to Jupiter or nongravitational forces.
