Ringworld is a term used to describe a theoretical artificial megastructure that circles a star. There are a few synonyms that can be used to describe this type of structure, including a ringworld habitat, an orbital ring, or a mega-ring. Other potential synonyms could include a Dyson ring, a Niven ring (named after author Larry Niven, who popularized the idea), or a halo orbit. These terms all describe a large, circular structure that could potentially house a population or serve as a platform for various purposes. While ringworlds currently only exist in science fiction, they offer a fascinating glimpse into what could be possible in the realms of space exploration and engineering.
