A luminous ring (halo) visible, usually around the Sun or Moon, and sometimes around other powerful sources is called a halo. There are many types of halos, but they are mainly caused by ice crystals in cirrus clouds at an altitude of 5-10 km in the upper layers of the troposphere.

The type of halo observed depends on the shape and arrangement of the crystals. The light reflected and refracted by ice crystals is often decomposed into a spectrum, which makes the halo look like a rainbow, however, the halo in low light conditions has low color, which is associated with the characteristics of twilight vision.

In the old days, various halos, like other celestial phenomena, were attributed the mystical meaning of omens (usually bad, especially if the halo took a cruciform shape, which was interpreted as a cross or a sword, or twins of the luminary appeared), to which there is a lot of chronicle evidence. Thus, in the “Tale of Igor’s Campaign” it is said that before the advance of the Polovtsians and the capture of Igor, “four suns shone over the Russian land,” which was perceived as a sign of an impending great misfortune. And in 1551, after a long siege by the troops of Emperor Charles V German city Magdeburg, a halo with false suns appeared in the sky above the city. This caused a stir among the besiegers. Since the halo was perceived as a “heavenly sign” in defense of the besieged, Charles V ordered the siege of the city to be lifted. (Photo: yoshkas_cat/Volgodonsk)

In times before meteorology, halos and similar optical phenomena were used to predict the weather. For example, Russians folk signs they say that the appearance of similar light rings, arcs, spots, pillars around the moon means rain, and the Chuvash say it means cold weather (usually in winter).

A major contribution to the study and systematization of halos was made by the Dutch astronomer Marcel Minnaert.

Halos should be distinguished from crowns. The latter have less angular size(up to 5°) and are explained by diffraction scattering of light source rays on water droplets forming a cloud or fog.
