Meaning & Etymology
The name 'Sky' is derived from the English word 'sky', which originates from the Old Norse word 'ský', meaning 'cloud'. It symbolizes the vast, unobstructed view upward from the Earth's surface, encompassing the atmosphere and outer space. The sky is often associated with freedom, limitlessness, and the celestial sphere in astronomy, where celestial bodies like the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars appear to drift. The term is also used informally to describe the perspective from the Earth's surface...
