Hurricane Dorian vs the Whirlpool Galaxy

I am writing a fiction book set on a Ringworld
(An enormous artificial construct millions of Earths in volume,
e.g. Larry Niven)
I am trying to figure out, could you see the curve of the ring from
ground level?

I tried looking it up, no luck.
Thank you for any information you can provide!

Edit: Thank you everybody for all the helpful and inciteful replies!

Nighttime lights of Toronto, Canada are a patchwork of white and warm LEDs in a classic North American grid design. To the southwest, the airport blacks out a large area and an approaching cloud blurs the edge. The Great Lakes coastline is large and ocean-like in appearance! I took this photo on Expedition 72 to the ISS during an orbital pass over region.

I am writing fiction, and I want my planet to have another planet loom large in the sky,
but I want it to be at least informed by reality. Is it possible for a real planet to have this effect without the two planets e.g. being so close they destabilize each other's orbit?

Hope you can help, I haven't had any luck figuring it out.
Thank you.

This image is a blue hour blend taken on a Sony a7 iii and Viltrox 16mm which consists of 15 shots at f1.8, iso 400 and 0.5s exposures for the foreground during late blue hour and over 90 untracked shots at 20s iso 800 and f1.8 between 2-3am.

The foreground was processed in Lightroom before being exported to photoshop with the sky being stacked in sequator, edited in siril then exported and merged with the foreground in photoshop
