Dr. Elliot Werner: Neither. Halos indicate something in the transparent structures of the eye that is interfering with the transmission of light back to the retina. The most common causes of halos are corneal edema (swelling), cataract, and high humidity in the air.
Halos result from the refraction of light by the cloud's ice crystals. Cirrostratus clouds, however, tend to thicken as a warm front approaches, signifying an increased production of ice crystals. As a result, the halo gradually disappears and the sun (or moon) becomes less visible.
