Using our model of light scattering by large rough grains, the compatibility of the observed properties of the zodiacal light with models of the spatial density of interplanetary grains is investigated. The agreement is not yet satisfactory and probably calls for further revision of the density distribution function. Our previous conclusion that submicronic grains gives a non-negligible contribution (Lamy and Perrin, 1980) is confirmed.
