The zodiacal light( also called false dawn when seen before daylight) is a faint gleam of verbose sun scattered by interplanetary dust. Brighter around the Sun, it appears in a particularly dark night sky to extend from the Sun's direction in a roughly triangular shape along the wheel, and appears with lower intensity and visibility along the whole ecliptic as the zodiacal band. The entire sky is illuminated by zodiacal light, which contributes to the natural light of a moonless night sky.
