Consideration of the nucleation and growth processes and observational arguments suggest that besides crystalline grains in the solar system and interplanetary space there are also amorphous H20-ice, Si02 and C grains. Of particular importance are effects of the bombardment of these grains by protons in the solar wind and in the planetary radiation belts and the ensuing various erosion processes. Differences in the physical properties of crystalline and amorphous grains lead to interesting astrophysical consequences.
