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.
What else can I help you with?
What causes a big circle around the moon?
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.
Which type of eclipse occurs when the moon appears too small to completely cover the sun and only a ring appears around the moon?
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon is at apogee, which is the farthest point from Earth in its elliptical orbit, making it appear smaller and unable to fully cover the sun. This results in a ring of sunlight called the "ring of fire" that is visible around the moon during the 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.
What are moon rings called?
Moon rings are also known as lunar halos. They are optical phenomena that appear as a bright ring around the moon and are caused by the refraction of light through ice crystals in the atmosphere.
White ring around the moon IN the sky right now.?
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.

What is the mythological meaning if there is a blue ring around the moon?
A ring around the Moon is caused by the moonlight shining through wispy thin clouds of tiny ice crystals high in the atmosphere.
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.
