A method of determination of the scattered light intensity, , by a unit-volume of interplanetary space is presented. From ground base Zodiacal Light measurements and the experimental results of Pioneer X the density, ρ(r), and phase, σ(θ), functions are obtained without any previous assumptions about them.
