sky
Atmosphere's visible face
The sky is the expanse of air and space visible above the earth—what you see when you look up.
It appears blue on clear days, gray when overcast, and displays stars at night.
Sky suggests openness and limitlessness: The sky's the limit.
To praise someone to the skies is to lavish them with compliments.
Sky-high means extremely high or expensive.
