It is suggested that halos and other refraction effects caused by crystals of various solids that may occur in their atmospheres might occur on the planets of the solar system and their satellites. The detection of the halos would provide valuable information about the nature and the crystalline form of the solids. The halos caused by the octahedral and cubic crystals of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ice Ic, ammonia, methane, and the structure-I clathrate hydrates of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and methane have been predicted over the range of temperatures that may occur in the atmospheres of the planets.
