![]() ![]() The Ringworld could be regarded as a thin, rotating slice of a Dyson sphere, with which it shares a number of characteristics. Walls 1000 miles tall along the edges retain the atmosphere. The "Other Ocean" has many maps of a single world: the Pak Homeworld. One of the large oceans, known as the "Great Ocean", contains one-to-one maps of all of the inhabited worlds of known space. On opposite sides of the ring are two large deep saltwater oceans, placed in counterbalance to one another. The majority of the surface is land interspersed with shallow, freshwater seas. Ringworld has a habitable flat inner surface equivalent in area to approximately three million Earth-sized planets. It rotates, providing an artificial gravity equivalent to 99.2% of Earth's gravity by way of centrifugal force. The Ringworld is an artificial ring about one million miles wide and approximately the diameter of Earth's orbit (which makes it about 600 million miles in circumference), encircling a Sol-type star. G3 verging on G2, barely smaller and cooler than Solħ.5 Ringworld days (225 h, 9.375 Earth days) ![]()
