Mayer, "Radio Emission of the Moon...)The radio_radiation of the sun which is reflected from the moon and planets should be negligible compared with their thermal_emission at centimeter wave_lengths , except possibly at times of exceptional outbursts of solar radio_noise . (J. F. Vedder, "Micrometeorites", in Francis S. J...)From the brightness of the F component of the solar corona and the brightness of the zodiacal_light , an estimate of the particle sizes , concentrations , and spatial distribution can be derived for regions of space near the ecliptic plane . The solar electromagnetic - and corpuscular-radiation_pressure and the associated Poynting-Robertson effect increase in effectiveness as the particle size decreases and modify the distribution and limit sizes to larger than a_few microns .
