# MinutePhysics — Ring AROUND the Earth?

A hand-drawn whiteboard explainer that answers a thought experiment: if we built a ring around the Earth, would it fall, collapse or spin? A real hand draws every step on white paper, with typewriter captions, a few stock and borrowed clips, and a sponsor end card.
