Abstract
Some of the dust particles present in the solar system are likely to be agg regates. The study of polarization of the light scattered by such aggregate d particles is performed for the six main formation processes. The analysis of the results shows that an irregular and fluffy structure of the particl es allows a better understanding of the light scattering observations.
