The halo effect around the sun and moon is typically caused by cirrus clouds, which are high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals. These ice crystals refract and reflect light, creating a halo that appears as a ring around the celestial body. The most common halo is a 22-degree halo, which forms when light is bent at a specific angle as it passes through the ice crystals. Thus, cirrus clouds play a key role in producing this optical phenomenon.
Cirrostratus
Cirrostratus
This type of cloud is known as cirrostratus. It is located in the upper levels of the atmosphere and often creates a halo effect around the sun or moon. Cirrostratus clouds are composed of ice crystals due to the low temperatures at high altitudes.
cirrus
A cirrostratus cloud appears as a thin, wispy veil covering the sky, often producing a halo effect around the sun or moon. These high-altitude clouds are transparent and can sometimes signal incoming precipitation in the near future.

Halo effect was created in 1920.
Comas form around comets when they approach the Sun and heat causes volatile compounds within the comet to vaporize and escape, creating a surrounding cloud of gas and dust. This process is known as outgassing, and it gives comets their characteristic glowing halo.
