Gravity is natural, not artificial. The ring spins at velocity that brings anything on the inside of the ring out toward the edge by centrifical force. Like spinning a bucket of water over your head.
Night and day are also explained by the rings rotation. Threshold has nothing to do with it as Halo was suspended in motion between the moon and the planet. The only place where the stars light could hit the ring would be at a parralell angle, which would put you in day for half a spin, and night for half a spin.
buckets have walls, rings don't.
the story takes place over a period of about 4 days, we don't know Halo's solar/lunar cycles.
and, did you ever look up while playing Halo? you can see stars during the day at all angles.
