Abstract
Dust particles play a key role in the evolution of the solar system and in other circumstellar systems. The formation of the Sun and stars is initiated by the collapse of a cloud of dust and gas. An accretion disk is formed around the central body and the planetary system eventually evolves. Some of the original dust particles are blown out-off the newly forming solar system by solar radiation and solar wind pressure,p ossibly being deflected in the gravity field of the newly formed large planetesimals. Once a planetary system is formed the small bodies in the solar system are a source of dust production. The activity of comets and the collisional evolution of asteroids,meteorites and possibly Kuiper belt objects lead to the formation of a second generation dust cloud,called the zodiacal cloud in our solar system. Similar dust debris clouds,although denser than the zodiacal cloud are now observed around other stars. The zodiacal dust cloud and other debris clouds show the evolution of small bodies in the solar system and in planetary systems in general. The dust also exhibits physical effects caused by the interaction with the surrounding plasma and radiation which are typical for dust in a cosmic environment.
