Traditionally, earth-based observations of the zodiacal light (ZL) require two assumptions for further analysis: (A1) the dust density (n) is a power of heliocentric distance (R), n ∝ R−ν; (A2) the nature (scattering cross section, σ) of the dust is independent of location, σ(r,h,θ)=σ(θ). Observations from Pioneer 10 do not verify these assumptions.
