Here's one simple-minded way: Evaluate the input cell:
Table[Show[Graphics[
Circle[{0, 0}, {1, t}], AspectRatio -> Automatic]],
{t, 0.1, 1, 0.1}];
This will produce a whole table of graphics display cells.
Now:
1. select the cell bracket enclosing the entire group of those display
cells. (You may collapse the entire group if you wish, but be sure that
one of the cells, say the first one, is visible on screen.)
2. From the Cell menu select Animate Selected Graphics (or use the
shortcut key equivalent, e.g., Ctrl-Y is Windows).
I said "simple-minded" above because this way necessitates manual
intervention. There are fancy ways to have the graphic display cell
group close automatically and be animated automatically. But it wasn't
clear from your question how fancy you wanted to get.
