Prerequisite to the determination of the Galactic and Extragalactic contributions to the infrared background is an accurate removal of the zodiacal emission. The all-sky observations by IRAS in 1983 were made with a variety of observing conditions and with higher sensitivity and angular resolution than previous infrared and optical observations of the zodiacal background. These facts alone mandate a better understanding of the optical properties and spatial distribution of interplanetary dust.
