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.

There is no giant ring around the moon, but if there was one it would simply be called a 'ring'. A ring is made up of tiny shards of dust and rocks orbiting around a body. who ever typed the above is a dork because i just saw the ring around the moon and came in to look it up! Its called a Halo. If you are referring to the ring of light sometimes seen around the Moon, then it is called a halo and is a result of moonlight reflecting and refracting in tiny ice crystals located in clouds or the upper atmosphere.
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.
Sometimes there is a lot of moisture in the air. The sunlight reflected from the moon lights up this moisture all around the moon. This appears to us as a ring around the moon. When the air, there is no visible ring.
No, the moon does not have rings around it like Saturn does. The moon is a rocky body with no significant ring system.
No it doesn't, ring is a ing sound where as a moon a oooon sound.

vennela chakram means moon halo. a gigantic white ring around the moon in the sky.
YES. Comment: I can't see why it should.

No, a ring around the moon means that sunshine is coming, pirates used to thing that when rings are around the moon, a sunny day is coming, and sunny days did come from rings around moons.
In some Christian traditions, a ring around the moon is often seen as a sign of impending change or turbulence. It is believed to be a symbolic message to pay attention to what is happening in the world and prepare for potential challenges or shifts in circumstances.
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.
When you find out tell me.
A ring around the Moon is caused by the moonlight shining through wispy thin clouds of tiny ice crystals high in the atmosphere.
The white ring around the moon is called a lunar halo, which is caused by the refraction of moonlight through ice crystals in high clouds. This creates a large ring of light around the moon in the sky. It is a beautiful and natural phenomenon to observe.
