So-called "zodiacal light" is caused by particles which are roughly in equilibrium from the Poynting-Robertson effect, the Yarkovsky Effect, and this.
So-called "zodiacal light" is caused by particles which are roughly in equilibrium from the Poynting-Robertson effect, the Yarkovsky Effect, and this. First measured by E.F. Nichols and G.F. Hull in 1903, P.N. Lebedev (*) used a set of flat metallic sheets in vacuum to prove its existence experimentally. For relativistic particles, it is equal to equal to one-third times the temperature to the fourth times the radiation constant, though it can also be calculated as equal to energy flux divided by the speed of light. FTP, name this phenomenon which causes comets' tails to go away from the sun, the force per unit area exerted by electromagnetic radiation.
