Abstract
The effect of the solar radiation on the interplanetary dust particle is derived. The most simple correct derivation is presented (in terms of order v/c) and each step is explained in detail. Derivation takes i nto account the general case of a spherical particle, not only perfect ly absorbing one as in the case of Robertson's derivation (Robertson, 1937). Some new results on relativistic covariant formula are also pre sented.
