The correct answer is:

✅ Refraction and reflection of light

Halos around the Sun or Moon are caused by ice crystals in high-altitude cirrus clouds:

Refraction: Light bends passing through hexagonal ice crystals, creating a 22° halo (most common).

Reflection: Some halos form when light bounces off crystal surfaces (e.g., sundogs).

Colors: Often faintly rainbow-like (red inside, blue outside).

Weather Sign: Often signal approaching warm fronts (and rain/snow within 24–48 hours).

❌ Solar flares: Affect space weather, not atmospheric optics.

❌ Magnetic fields: Influence auroras, not halos.

Fun Fact: The same ice crystals cause sun dogs, light pillars, and circumzenithal arcs! 🌞❄️

Spot a halo? Rain might be coming! 🌧️☁️
