Scientific paper

Zodiacal light observations obtained with the space probes Helios 1 and Helios 2 between 0.98 and 0.85 AU were analyzed for angular distribution and radial gradient of brightness. The radial brightness gradient is explained by a spatial distribution of dust particles in the size range 10-100 microns. No change in the angular brightness distribution was found, which supports the inherent assumption that the scattering properties of interplanetary dust depend little on heliocentric distance. A comparison is made with spatial distributions derived from space observations of individual particles and from radio meteors.
