  22 Degree Halo: a ring of light 22 degrees from the sun or moon
Most halos appear as bright white rings but in some instances, the dispersion of light as it passes through ice crystals found in upper level cirrus clouds can cause a halo to have color.
Halos form when light from the sun or moon is refracted by ice crystals associated with thin, high-level clouds (like cirrostratus clouds).
A 22 degree halo is a ring of light 22 degrees from the sun (or moon) and is the most common type of halo observed and is formed by hexagonal ice crystals with diameters less than 20.5 micrometers.

 Components of the Galaxy
The halo and the nucleus are also referred to collectively as the spherical component of the galaxy since they have an approximately spherical distribution with respect to the center of the galaxy.
In our own galaxy, the observed rotation of the stars and gas clouds indicates that the visible matter is surrounded by a halo of this dark matter containing the major portion of the total galaxy mass and extending very far beyond the visible matter.
