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 else can I help you with?
What causes the ring around the sun or moon?
The ring around the sun or moon, known as a halo, is caused by the refraction of light through ice crystals in the atmosphere. These ice crystals in high clouds bend the light and create the optical effect that we see as a ring.
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.
A ring eclipse is?
Also known as Annular, it would be a total Solar eclipse if the Moon were nearer the Earth at the time (the Moon's orbit is not a perfect circle). The further the Moon is from the Earth, the smaller it appears and thus cannot completely cover the Sun.
What revolves around the sun and reflect light?
the moon
What is Circle of light around sun or moon created by light refracted by ice crystals in cold cirrus clouds?
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.

What causes the phenomenon of a ring of clouds around the moon or sun?
The phenomenon of a ring of clouds around the moon or sun is caused by the refraction and reflection of light through ice crystals in the Earth's atmosphere. This creates a halo effect, where the light is bent and scattered to form a circular ring around the celestial body.
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.
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.

What does it mean when there's a ring around the sun?
A ring around the sun, also known as a halo, is caused by the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals in the atmosphere. This optical phenomenon creates a circular ring of light around the 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 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 is a solar eclipse that leaves a ring around the sun?
A solar eclipse that leaves a ring around the sun is known as an annular solar eclipse. This type of eclipse occurs when the moon is too far from Earth to completely cover the sun, resulting in a ring of sunlight being visible around the moon's silhouette during the peak of the eclipse.
Does the sun and moon emit light?
the sun only emit light. not the moon. it will reflect the light of the sun.
