Traditionally a ring around the moon means that bad weather is coming.
The moon sometimes appears to have a ring (or halo) around it because of light diffraction in the Earth's upper atmosphere, usually due to ice crystals high in the atmosphere.
before a storm or so people say
If therer is a ring around the sun or mon, it means that there is moisture in the atmosphere, thus the halo. It is an old sailors theme meaning that there is moisture on the way. This is because upper level atmospheric moisture is visable before a weather front. My grandfather always said if the moon has a halo, then it will bring rain. If dew is on the ground, then the the moisture is on ground level and no rain.
means a storm is coming
A ring around the Moon is caused by the moonlight shining through wispy thin clouds of tiny ice crystals high in the atmosphere.

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.
what a hoe
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.
No, a ring around the moon means that sunshine is coming, pirates used to thing that when rings are around the moon, a sunny day is coming, and sunny days did come from rings around moons.
A ring around the Moon is generally caused by high-altitude ice crystals refracting the moonlight back toward the observer.
When you find out tell me.

no because some are stupid
as it is a moon I dont think it has any
"Fairy ring around the moon, rain by noon." At least, that's what old folklore says! Really it's just ice crystals clinging to cirrus clouds high in the atmosphere, which cause the light from the moon to reflect, creating a ring effect.
