The location in space of the symmetry surface of the zodiacal cloud at elongation angles 110-140 deg from the sun is determined from observations of the zodiacal light taken from the Pioneer 10 space probe, and from the zodiacal light experiment on Skylab. The inclination and ascending node of the symmetry surface from the ecliptic plane are shown to be about 1.2 and 23 deg, respectively, closest to those of the orbital plane of Mars. These results are consistent with those obtained from IRAS at elongation angle of 90 deg from the sun.
