A '''Habitat Ring''' is a large ring-shaped structure of a space [[station|station]] such as the [[Orbis]] and [[Ocellus]]. It generates artificial [[gravity]] via centripetal force from its constant rotation around a hub.<ref>AMA with David Braben https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/15od2s/i_am_david_braben_cocreator_of_elite_creator_of/c7qds39/</ref> This is the only way to experience Earth-like gravity in space, because there are no anti-gravity or gravity generators. The diameter of an Orbis habitat ring is about 4 km and generates [[Earth]]'s surface gravity of 1 g. The smaller habitat ring has a diameter of 2 km with 0.5 gravity. <br />
<br />
The ceiling of a habitat ring is transparent to let starlight into the living space. Inside is a breathable atmosphere and it looks like an infinite valley with upward slopes on both sides. The livable surface has green vegetation, forests, farms, houses, high-rise buildings and skyscrapers. People also live in the towering sidewalls. There are enormous storage bays at the rear of these stations to support the mega markets. <br />
<br />
The habitat ring is based on the Stanford torus which was proposed by NASA in 1975. This design can house 10,000 to 140,000 permanent residents.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_torus</ref> <br />
