The moon itself has no halo.

The apparent halo is caused by zillions of small ice crystals in our atmosphere. The halo is nothing but moonlight shining through and reflecting from these ice crystals.

What causes the halo around the moon?

The halo around the moon is caused by the refraction, reflection, and dispersion of moonlight by ice crystals in the atmosphere. These ice crystals act like tiny prisms, bending and dispersing the light to create a circular halo around the moon. It is most commonly seen when thin, high-altitude cirrus clouds are present.

What causes the optical phenomenon of a ring around the moon?

The ring around the moon, also known as a lunar halo, is caused by the refraction of moonlight through ice crystals in high-altitude cirrus clouds. The ice crystals act as prisms, bending and reflecting the light to create a circular halo around the moon.
