The corona is the outside layer of the sun's atmosphere, and it extends for several million kilometres from the photosphere and chromosphere. It is visible most clearly during a solar eclipse.
During certain weather conditions, a halo is visible as a bright ring around the sun, but this is due to atmospheric phenomena.

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.
