Very, very high up in the sky there sometimes flows a stream of warm air. When it meets the cold air from the lower1 level, the cold and warm air mix and become cirrus.
Cinus is a kind of very thin cloud. It cannot hide the moon. It only covers the moon with a "thin gauze", which is made of countless2 small ice grains. When the moon shines over these ice grains and the light reflects back to the moon, we see a circle of white light around the moon. This means3 the weather is going to change soon.
