Answer:

No we cannot

Step-by-step explanation:

But what causes a ring to appear around the moon? This phenomenon is called a "moon halo." According to the National Weather Service, this ring of light, which is actually an optical illusion, forms around the moon when moonlight refracts off ice crystals in cirrus clouds, high up in the Earth's atmosphere.
