No there is not.
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.
It can't.
Yes, the moon has its own orbit around the earth, held in place by the earth's gravity. As the earth orbits around the sun, the moon goes with it.
This optical phenomenon is called a "halo." Halos are formed when light is refracted and reflected by ice crystals in the atmosphere, creating a ring of light around the sun or moon. The shape and size of the halo depend on the type and orientation of the ice crystals.
During certain weather conditions, a halo is visible as a ring around the sun (or even the moon). This is due to atmospheric phenomena, indicating there are storms nearby. The rings are caused by refraction and reflection of light off the high cirrus clouds which contain millions of tiny ice crystals.

The circle of light around the moon or sun is called a halo. Halos are optical phenomena caused by the refraction, reflection, and dispersion of light through ice crystals in the atmosphere. Different types of halos can form, such as 22-degree halos, sundogs, and circumzenithal arcs.

The halo effect that is sometimes observed around the sun during a solar eclipse is known as the solar corona. This occurs when the moon aligns perfectly with the sun, obscuring its bright surface and allowing the sun's outer atmosphere, or corona, to become visible. The corona is much less bright than the sun's surface, so it appears as a glowing halo of light around the darkened moon.
