A circle of rainbow around the moon, known as a lunar halo, occurs when light from the moon is refracted, reflected, and dispersed through ice crystals in high-altitude clouds, typically cirrus clouds. The ice crystals act like prisms, bending the moonlight and creating a circular halo that can appear white or faintly colored, similar to a rainbow. This phenomenon is more likely to occur when the moon is full or nearly full, and the atmospheric conditions are right for ice crystal formation. Lunar halos can serve as an indicator of upcoming weather changes, often signaling that precipitation may be on the way.

Does the moon orbit around itself?
The moon rotates around its own axis, but revolves around the earth. The moon completes one rotation with each revolution around the earth, so one day on the moon (sunrise to sunrise) is equal to one month on earth. This coincidence is the reason only one side of the moon is always facing the earth.
Are the Moon's phases caused by Earth's rotation?
No. The phases of the Moon are caused by our moon rotating around the Earth. When the moon is between the Sun and Earth, the face nearest to us is not illuminated and in the Moon's own shadow, and this aspect we call 'New Moon'. When the moon is on the side of Earth farthest from the sun, it is fully illuminated, and this we call 'Full Moon'. [Due to the distribution of mass in the moon, it keeps one face towards Earth.] The earth rotates once every 24 hours, so we see the moon in our sky once a day - but sometimes in the daytime - when it is approaching 'New'. But the moon orbits the earth once every 28 days (approx) and this motion is the one that is responsible for the phases of the Moon. !

Another name for rainbow?
A moonbow (also known as a lunar rainbow or white rainbow) is a rainbow that occurs at night. Moonbows are relatively faint, due to the smaller amount of light from the Moon. As with rainbows, they are always in the opposite part of the sky from the moon. It is difficult to discern colors in a moonbow because the light is usually too faint to excite the cone color receptors in our eyes. However, the colors appear in long exposure photographs. A colored circle around the moon is not a moonbow - it is usually a 22
