The ring is caused by ice crystals high in the atmosphere. The moon's light is refracted off them causing the halo effect. Old wives tales say that the ring predicts bad weather such as rain or snow. You can tell how far away the bad weather is by the number of stars inside the ring. Each star is said to represent 24 hours. So....1 star would mean foul weather will come withing 24 hours.
You can see a ring around the moon in Southern Illinois tonight(Dec. 1, 2009) but it is too foggy to see if there are any stars inside it. How ever, the weather forecast for us is rain turning to snow or sleet tomorrow afternoon so I'd say the moon ring predicted true for us.

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.

A ring of light around the sun or moon?
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.
