It is called 'Halo' which is a circle of coloured light around the sun.It is produced by refraction of sunlight by ice crystals found in cirrostratus cloud.

the sphere around the sun is caused by heavy chemtrail bombings.

real heavy, the kind the use to smack the day away oily stuff

still it could be a blue ufo, even if lensflare has the same effect, it does look like flare/glare the world is a chemtrailufo ball.. we all have to chase the really high atmospheric pressure in our cars just to get some sun..

You are seeing the effects of prismatic light refraction within the camera. It is because of the different lenses used in cameras. Try using a polarized filter on the camera.

It's called a sun halo.  Caused by the same refraction that causes the rainbow that you see after a rainstorm.

Extra info:  A rainbow is actually a circle, it's just that we see only an arc section of the entire thing.
