Alright, suppose you managed to build some type of massive ring around the Earth; concentric to the Earth, that is. I'm picturing a continuous metal pole-type object, bigger than Earth and its atmosphere, suspended around the Earth like a ring of a gyroscope.
What would the effect of Earth's gravity be on this ring? Would it simply sit there? Or would the ring spin or orbit around the Earth?
