The "halo" around the sun or moon is caused by refraction from ice crystals high in the stratosphere (which we look through when looking out into space).
the moon
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.
When we see the moon as a perfect circle, it is called a "full moon." This phase occurs when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, allowing the sun's light to fully illuminate the moon's surface. During a full moon, the moon appears as a bright, round disk in the night sky.
as the planets and moons circle around the sun, the moon gets less and less light from the sun and the light it gets from the sun is known as the phase.. when the sun hits the whole moon it is a full moon and so on
when the moon comes between the sun and the earth, the earth then moves around and in the night sky you see different shapes. if you aslo want to know how is there light in the moon when the moon itself doesnt have light?? because of the sun, the sun gives light through the moon.

What do you mean "if it could"? The Moon does circle the Sun, together with planet Earth. Once a year.

When the moon appears as a complete bright circle of light, it is known as a full moon. This occurs when the Earth is directly between the sun and the moon, with the sun's rays fully illuminating the side of the moon facing Earth.
Basically because the moon revolves around the earth so therefore it circles the sun to. It doesn't orbit it but it does go around it.
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.

The moon does not emit light, it only reflects light from the sun, so half of it is always dark. The lit part we can see determines the phase of the moon. The sun does emit light, so there is no dark side of the sun. Unless something is blocking our view, the sun will always appear as a luminous circle in the sky.

the sun only emit light. not the moon. it will reflect the light of the sun.
