No, that is the moisture between you and the moon and the position of the moon. You see, a full moon that rises high in the sky makes us notice the shadows we cast, and the illumination of the ground. So, naturally, we look up at the moon. The reflected light of the moon is refracted passing through ice crystals, causing a hazy circle to ring the moon.
That's called the "waxing" phases ... an olde English word for "growing". It's the period of 14 or 15 days after every New Moon.
