sky gods

Heaven's ruling powers

Sky gods are deities associated with the heavens, weather, and celestial phenomena—figures like Zeus, Thor, or Indra who rule from above and wield thunder and lightning.

The term often carries a dismissive or anthropological tone, suggesting primitive belief systems that personify natural forces: Ancient peoples worshipped sky gods to explain storms.
