What Wikipedia says

In meteorology, a corona (plural coronae) is an optical phenomenon and photometeor produced by the diffraction of sunlight or moonlight, or any bright light source by individual particles larger than the wavelength of light, most commonly seen in small water droplets, tiny ice crystals of a cloud, or condensation on a foggy glass surface.
