The scattering function of Hong's successful model for the brightness variation with elongation, B(ε), of the Zodiacal Light has been used to calculate profiles of Doppler shifted Fraunhofer lines. Substantial line shape changes with ε are predicted with an indication of a bifurcation at ε < 30°, so offering an explanation for reported F corona observations.
