AI overview

A top is a toy that spins rapidly on the ground, and its spinning motion keeps it balanced upright on its tip rather than falling over. It matters because it's a classic example of how rotational physics works in practice—the spinning creates inertia that stabilizes the top, making it a simple yet fascinating demonstration of how motion can defy what seems like it should happen.
