It is not the most outer layer of the moon, It is an optical phenomena which occurs as light reflected by the moon is then diffracted through water droplets (clouds) in our atmosphere. forming a halo.
A "ring" around the Moon is caused by moonlight being diffracted by ice crystals in the upper atmosphere.
By A Total Eclipse Of The Sun During a Solar Eclipse. Once the Moon blocks the Sun, you can see the Corona shining around it.
Usually, we cannot see the corona because of the brightness of the photosphere. However, during a total solar eclipse, the corona shines beautifully against the dark sky. During a partial or an annular eclipse, a ring of the photosphere is visible around the Moon and the corona is not visible.
The circle of light around the sun is called a Corona. The corona can usually only be seen during a total solar eclipse. When this happens it can be seen as an irregularly shaped glow surrounding the moon.
the moon is between the earth and the sun
the corona is the part that you see when you see the sun .. the part with light around it :D
A corona is a circular light around a luminous body, such as the moon. It is from Latin meaning a crown or a garland

The light around the moon is called the corona. It is the outermost portion of the sun's atmosphere. The corona is always present, but except during an eclipse it is hidden by the glare from the rest of the sun.

Earth is bigger than the moon, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the sun's corona.
The corona of a star (such as our Sun) is the glowing wispy tenuous gas around the star. It is all around the star. The corona of the Sun is visible during total solar eclipses, when the Sun itself is behind the Moon, but once the Sun comes out from behind the Moon the Sun is so brilliant that the corona is invisibly dim. There's a special type of telescope called a "coronagraph", which blocks the Sun with a metal plate and allows scientists to examine the corona at any time.
The moon sure has a beautiful corona surrounding it.
Usually, we cannot see the corona because of the brightness of the photosphere. However, during a total solar eclipse, the corona shines beautifully against the dark sky. During a partial or an annular eclipse, a ring of the photosphere is visible around the Moon and the corona is not visible.
Because in a full eclipse the moon is close enough to the earth to block all the sun's disk and the light of this disk does not visually hide the corona. In an annular eclipse the moon is farther from the earth and not all of the sun's disk is blocked so there is enough light escaping around the block to hide the corona. .
Because the sun, Earth, and the moon line up in a strait path with the Earth in between. The corona is the earth's shadow on the moon.
It's called the corona :)
Nothing, hence total solar eclipse.______________________________Actually, the mass of the Sun itself is hidden behind the Moon, but the tenuous and wispy atmosphere of the Sun, called the "corona", extends a few million miles out into space. The corona is fairly dim; compared to the brilliance of the Sun itself, the corona is invisible. But when the Sun is hidden behind the Moon, the corona is still mostly visible.AND if you are in middle school the simple answer would be the corona and the photo
