The zodi is a unit of zodiacal dust. [1] One zodi is the amount of zodiacal dust in the inner Solar System. [2] This dust absorbs light from the Sun and re-radiates it as thermal radiation. The luminosity of the zodiacal dust in the Solar System is about relative to the luminosity of the Sun, [3] and in practice, this is the observable characteristic defining one zodi.
