Light Scattering in the Solar System

A concise survey of light scattering by small dust particles in the atmospheres and surface layers of various Solar System bodies, comets, the interplanetary medium, and in planetary rings is presented. Current issues and recent developments are emphasized. Special attention is given to experimental and numerical approaches for solving problems of light scattering by non-spherical dust particles. Key areas for further research are pointed out.
