The ring visible as the moon passes in front of the sun during a solar eclipse is called the corona. This appears durian a total solar eclipse, when the apparent size of the moon is larger than the sun.

During an annular eclipse, where the moon's apparent size is smaller than the sun, the ring visible around the moon is called the annulus.
