I'm not entirely sure what you mean. The moon doesn't produce any light by itself. Instead, the moon reflects sunlight onto Earth. If you mean a ring of light that appears to surround the moon on a clear night, then that would have to do with the Earth's atmosphere and not the moon itself. When light enters the Earth's atmosphere, it scatters due to absorption and re-emission by the molecules as well as a phenomenon called Raleigh scattering. The fainter ring of light that you see on clear nights is thanks to the combination of those two effects.

What is the bright ring around the sun called?
The bright ring around the sun is called the halo. A halo can be found around any object with light like the moon or sun.
What does it mean when there is a ring around the moon that looks fairly close to the moon and what does it mean when there is a ring around the moon that looks to be far from the moon?
Well if the sky looks dark or bright and the ring has the same light or a little same light as the sun then the moon is covering the sun which creates a Solar Eclipse. I think that rarely happens unless there were a special gravity force or shockwave that cause the moon to move but everything will return to normal after the Eclipse ends.
What causes the ring around the sun or moon?
what a hoe
What revolves around the sun and reflect light?
the moon
How do moon phases happen?
as the planets and moons circle around the sun, the moon gets less and less light from the sun and the light it gets from the sun is known as the phase.. when the sun hits the whole moon it is a full moon and so on

How are the sun and moon different?
The sun is a star that is extremely hot and is a source of light for the planet. While the moon is a mass that orbits around earth and reflects light.

the moon

Is today moon will rise?
The moon never "rises" and "sets" like the sun does. It orbits around planet Earth.... At night, when it shines, that is not the moon's light, that is the sun's light that is reflecting of off the sun!
How does the moon interact with the earth and sun?
The moon interacts with the earth and the sun by 1.providing light at night, and rotating around the earth. 2. buy the moon getting light reflected by the sun which is why it shines.
Does the far side of the moon receive any light from the moon?
every side of the moon eventually gets sunlight, because the moon revolves around Earth and Earth revolves around the sun. but only half of the moon if ever lit at a time, and the light goes around the moon
What is it called when the moon lies between earth and the sun but does not block the light from reaching earth?
There are three possible answers:- A New Moon; the Moon is not seen as the light from the Sun overpowers everything in its vicinty. A Partial Eclipse; Some light from the Sun is seem , but also the Moon's shadow. An Annular Eclipse; The Moon passes directly in front of the Sun , but a ring of sunlight is seem .
What are the causes of moons phases to occur?
as the earth moves so does the moon and where the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits earth as the earth moves around the sun the sun projects light and it hits the moon and we can see the light from the sun reflecting off the moon
Does the sun and moon emit light?
the sun only emit light. not the moon. it will reflect the light of the sun.
