What Makes A Halo Around The Sun Or Moon?

A ring or circle of light around the sun or moon is called a halo. Solar and lunar haloes are pretty common, but they're so mysterious-looking that people often express amazement upon seeing them. They want to know: what causes a halo around the sun or moon?

Merci ! J'ai vu un halo la nuit du 1 janvier 2010 autour de la lune, magnifique !
Il y a eu effectivement des vents violents après, au printemps !
J'avais fait des photos mais rien n'était apparu sur les images !
