We discuss the significance of our zodiacal light models, which are based on Mie theory and refractive indices measured in the range 0.15 μm ≤ λ ≤ 100 μm. The models include scattering and thermal emission. They are absolute, since particle number density at 1 AU, size distribution and radial density gradient in the Ecliptic are fixed by lunar microcrater counts and by Helios and Pioneer results. The only free parameter is the chemical composition of the dust.
