Abstract
The optical and infrared brightness of the Fraunhofer-corona is produced by light scattering at the zodiacal dust particles and by their thermal emission (see Koutchmy and Lamy 1985). It is modelled within the ecliptic (4 Ro ≤ ε ≤ 15 Ro) taking into account investigations of the global zodiacal dust cloud due to remote sensing and in situ experiments. The input of near solar dust to the corona brightness is discussed.
