Learn about the Physics Core 2D API and how to create a 2D physics scene.

> **Note:**
>
> This documentation is about writing C# scripts using the `Unity.U2D.Physics` API. To use 2D physics in the Unity Editor using components like the Rigidbody 2D component, refer to [2D physics](/engine/6000.6/manual/unity2d/2d-physics.md.md) instead.
