Exozodiacal dust is the exozodiacal analog of zodiacal dust, the 1-100 micrometre-sized grains of silicate dust that fill the plane of the solar system, especially interior to the asteroid belt. Exozodiacal dust clouds are often components of debris disks, recognizable because they contribute to the mid-infrared light from these disks. The shapes of exozodiacal dust clouds can show the dynamical influence of extrasolar planets, and potentially indicate the presence of these planets .

- Exozodiacal dust is the exozodiacal analog of zodiacal dust, the 1-100 micrometre-sized grains of silicate dust that fill the plane of the solar system, especially interior to the asteroid belt. Exozodiacal dust clouds are often components of debris disks, recognizable because they contribute to the mid-infrared light from these disks. The shapes of exozodiacal dust clouds can show the dynamical influence of extrasolar planets, and potentially indicate the presence of these planets . Because it is located near a star's habitable zone, exozodiacal dust can be an important noise source for the Terrestrial Planet Finder.
