Default Re: Thoughts about sphere worlds

Hmmm, never thought about what gravity would be like inside a Sphere World. My totally non-scientific guess would be that the local gravity of the Sphere-world structure would hold you against the pull from the sun. BUT I cannot see that that pull would be great enough to equal earth's gravity and so any atmosphere should be very thin.
Of Course, anyone advanced enough to build such a thing, might have some way to augment the local gravity.
MY QUESTION is where would the Solar Wind go?
