    Magnitudes of heavenly arcs

    What is the visual magnitude of Milky Way?

    And what is the visual magnitude of the zodiacal light?

    How do these 2 heavenly arcs compare when both are visible?

    Where is the dimmest part of the zodiacal light along the zodiac? Antisolar point is the bright gegenschein - how far from gegenschein is the dimmest part of zodiacal light, where it connects to the rest?

    I just used Google to search the phrases "surface brightness Milky Way" and "surface brightness zodiacal light". The first 3 or 5 items returned in each case contained the information you seek.

    Perhaps you might try using search engines yourself.
