Abstract

The action of the solar corpuscular radiation on the rotational properties of small interplanetary dust particles is investigated. It is shown that the solar wind increases the angular momentum (spin) of the particle. Analytic solutions are presented for dominant terms in which quantities of the orders (v/u) n ,n ≥ 1, are neglected (v is the orbital velocity of dust particle around the Sun andu is the speed of the solar wind particles).
