It is not. On the other hand, the Milky way sun creates the halo. When you see milky from above, it is diffucult to notice the halo. If you shift or rotate the view, you can see that the Milky way halo is a cicurference with the sun in the center and it covers all planets circling this sun.

The term galactic halo is used to denote an extended, roughly spherical component of a galaxy, which extends beyond the main, visible component. It can refer to any of several distinct components which share these properties

Scientists determine the Milky Way's mass outside the Sun's orbit by observing the motions of stars and gas in the galaxy and using gravitational models to calculate the total mass that is needed to hold these objects in their orbits. This method allows for estimating the mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, which makes up the majority of its mass.
