The space where the stars, planets and satellites are found is called sky.
There are various meanings linked to the concept of heaven , which comes from the Latin caelum . One of the most common uses of the term refers to the atmosphere , the sphere that appears to be blue and that surrounds the Earth and the space where the Sun , stars , planets and satellites are located.
For example: “Look at the sky! There is a shooting star passing by” , “When people looked up and looked at the sky, no one could believe what their eyes saw” , “The sky is covered with clouds: I think a storm will break out in the next few hours” .
It should be noted that the color of the sky arises from diffuse radiation, which is the interaction of sunlight with the atmosphere. Typically, the sky exhibits shades close to blue, red and black.
Heaven in different expressions and concepts
However, we must not forget that, colloquially, the term sky is also used to refer to the upper part of another series of things. Thus, for example, we frequently use the expression “the roof of the mouth” to refer to what the palate is.
The expression “cry out to heaven” is also used very frequently. When we say that something cries out to heaven, we are trying to convey that that something is very scandalous.
In the field of construction there is also the concept of “floor ceiling” . This is used to mention all the roofs of the different buildings that are fundamentally characterized by the fact that they are absolutely flat and smooth. Although there is also what is called “open roof” , which is that roof that does not have any type of cover.
In Christianity, heaven is the place where God, angels, and the souls of deceased human beings who did not go to hell live.
The notion in religion
In the field of religion , heaven is the place where gods, angels and human souls not condemned to hell live. This means that, after death, people who lived according to God 's commands go to heaven.
Graphic representations show the sky above the earth, even as a space between the clouds. On a symbolic level, heaven is a place of eternal happiness where the soul is in a state of plenitude and in direct contact with God .
Heaven as title and nickname
It should also be noted that there are interesting books that use the term heaven as part of their title. This would be the case of the work “The Proof of Heaven” , which is the work of neurosurgeon Eben Alexander . This is a doctor who has taken advantage of the experience he had when suffering a stroke to make known what lies beyond death.
Another work that follows the same line is the one entitled “Heaven is real” . It is a story that tells the near-death experience that a four-year-old boy had after undergoing a serious surgical operation.
Sky, finally, can be an affectionate nickname to name a very dear person: “Will you marry me, my sky?” , “I will always be by your side, my darling.”
