 Will if it was spun there would be artificial gravity on the equator
 with lessening gravity closer to the poles. The atmosphere would be the
 thickest at the equator. However the strong gravity area would still be
 GIGANTIC.

 As there might be leakage of air to the outside this might form an
 external atmosphere. Some types of life do not require light. They may
 exist quite happly on the outside.
