The sky is (roughly) the part of the atmosphere or of outer space visible from the surface of the earth (or any other astronomical object; see Extraterrestrial skies). Birds, insects, airplanes, and kites are often considered to fly in the sky. It is difficult to define precisely for several reasons. During daylight the sky has the appearance of a deep blue surface, but this is the result of the air scattering sunlight. [1] There is no "blue object" above the earth in any normal sense, so it is hard to say what object the sky is. The sky is thus sometimes defined as the denser gaseous zone of a planet's atmosphere. At night the sky has the appearance of a black surface or region scattered with stars. But if we then say that the sky is the entire visible universe, it would not be the same thing we see during the day.
During the day the sun can be seen in the sky, unless covered by clouds. In the night sky (and to some extent during the day) the moon, planets and stars are visible in the sky. Some of the natural phenomena seen in the sky are clouds, rainbows, and aurorae. Lightning and precipitation can also be seen in the sky during storms. As a result of human activities, smog during the day and light radiance during the night are often seen above large cities (see also light pollution).
In the field of astronomy, the sky is also called the celestial sphere. This is an imaginary dome where the sun, stars, planets, and the moon are seen to be travelling. The celestial sphere is divided into regions called constellations.
The pagoda is a glowing affirmation of Myanmar 's spirituality. Although small in size, it is one of the most revered and celebrated pagodas in Myanmar . Kyaiktiyo Pagoda is recognized as one of the wonders of South East Asia by a recent publication sponsored by the Tourism Authorities of ASEAN countries. It can also be qualified as one of the wonders of the world by virtue of the fact that it sits uniquely at the apex of a huge, almost egg shaped, granitoid boulder. This boulder (now completely gilded) is precariously perched on a projecting tabular rock. The gilded boulder and the rock table are two separate pieces, the boulder actually balancing off the extreme verge of the sloping surface of the rock and overhanging it by nearly half its length. This slope drops down perpendicularly into the valley below. On the other side, the rock table is separated several feet from the rest of the hill by a deep chasm, now appended by a a small foot bridge. By gently rocking the boulder, a thread can be passed between it and the table rock. When viewed from a certain angle, this separation can be appreciated by virtue of a thin beam of daylight shining through. It is not known what freakish law has kept the boulder in its precarious position for many centuries and despite several violent earthquakes. Of course, pious Buddhists attribute this to the power of Buddha's hair relic enshrined in the Pagoda
