οὐρανός
ouranós · Greek · Strong's G3772 · 275 occurrences
The KJV renders 4 different Hebrew and Greek words as “heaven”
What it means
the sky; by extension, heaven (as the abode of God); by implication, happiness, power, eternity; specially, the Gospel (Christianity)
perhaps from the same as G3735 (ὄρος) (through the idea of elevation);
How the KJV renders it
air, heaven, sky
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“heaven”
“sky”
also renders shachaq (H7834)
