There is no giant ring around the moon, but if there was one it would simply be called a 'ring'. A ring is made up of tiny shards of dust and rocks orbiting around a body.
who ever typed the above is a dork because i just saw the ring around the moon and came in to look it up! Its called a Halo.
If you are referring to the ring of light sometimes seen around the Moon, then it is called a halo and is a result of moonlight reflecting and refracting in tiny ice crystals located in clouds or the upper atmosphere.
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.
Sometimes there is a lot of moisture in the air. The sunlight reflected from the moon lights up this moisture all around the moon. This appears to us as a ring around the moon. When the air, there is no visible ring.

A ring around the Moon is generally caused by high-altitude ice crystals refracting the moonlight back toward the observer.
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.
A ring around the moon is not mentioned in the bible.

No, a ring around the moon means that sunshine is coming, pirates used to thing that when rings are around the moon, a sunny day is coming, and sunny days did come from rings around moons.

When you find out tell me.
In folklore, a ring (often called a halo) seen around the sun or the moon means precipitation (usually rain) is coming. For more details :http://www.theweddingbandco.com
Ring around the rosie!
A ring around the Moon is caused by the moonlight shining through wispy thin clouds of tiny ice crystals high in the atmosphere.
