Okay sci fi, but lots of people in here and i thought it was a fantastic site! Remember to check all sections.
Anyone know anything bigger in books - how big was ringworld?

That IS cool!
Ringworld was as big as the orbit of a planet. I know Iain Banks has something similar called an orbital. The people over in the scifi area probably could think of bigger things.

Anyone remember how big Arthus C Clarke's 'Rama' was? That would be a contender...
Anyway... this does belong in the SF section...

Anyone remember how big Arthur C Clarke's 'Rama' was?
50 km.
(and weighed more than ten trillion tons).

Iain M Banks, as mentioned, I think provided the largest communities with his Culture 'Orbitals' and 'plates'
