We have found from line-of-sight integration of scattered light and thermal emission that the appearance of a hump in the F-corona, which was observed in the near-infrared wavelengths by Peterson (1969) and MacQueen (1968), is very sensitive to the change of size distribution of circumsolar dust grains. Namely, the size distribution affects the balance of scattered sunlight and thermal emission. We suggest that a temporal variation in the size distribution of circumsolar dust grains is a potential origin of the temporal variation of the hump structure observed in the F-corona.
