The concept of "layers of heaven" varies significantly across religious and cultural traditions, ranging from three distinct realms to nine or more celestial spheres. 

1. The Three Heavens (Christianity)

Biblical interpretation often identifies three "heavens" based on the physical and spiritual structure of the universe: 

• The First Heaven (Atmospheric): The sky immediately above the Earth, where clouds form and birds fly.

• The Second Heaven (Celestial): The vast expanse of outer space containing the stars, planets, and galaxies.

• The Third Heaven (Spiritual): The dwelling place of God and paradise. This is explicitly mentioned by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:2. 

2. The Seven Heavens (Islam and Judaism)

In Islam and Rabbinic Judaism, heaven is frequently described as having seven layers or "firmaments": 

• Judaism: Jewish mysticism (Midrash) lists seven heavens with specific names: Vilon, Rakia, Shehaqim, Zebul, Ma'on, Makhon, and Araboth.

• Islam: The Quran mentions seven heavens created in layers. During the Miraj (Night Journey), Prophet Muhammad is said to have ascended through these levels, meeting different prophets (like Adam, Jesus, and Moses) at each stage until reaching the Throne of God in the seventh heaven.

• Levels of Paradise (Jannah): While there are seven heavens, Islamic tradition also describes Jannah (Paradise) as having many levels or "gardens" (often listed as seven or eight major ones like Jannat al-Firdaws and Dar al-Salam) based on the righteousness of the soul. 

3. The Nine Spheres (Dante's Paradiso)

In literary tradition, Dante Alighieri's Paradiso depicts heaven as nine concentric spheres encircling the Earth, based on the Ptolemaic geocentric model: 

1. Moon: The inconstant.

2. Mercury: The ambitious.

3. Venus: The lovers.

4. Sun: The wise.

5. Mars: The warriors of the faith.

6. Jupiter: The just rulers.

7. Saturn: The contemplatives.

8. Fixed Stars: The Church Triumphant.

9. Primum Mobile: The angelic hierarchy, leading finally to the Empyrean, God's dwelling. 

4. Eastern Traditions

• Buddhism: Recognizes multiple heavenly realms (Devaloka), often divided into groups such as the six heavens of the desire realm, followed by higher realms of form and formlessness.

• Hinduism: Describes seven upper worlds (Lokas), with Satyaloka being the highest and most sacred. 

Earth's atmosphere consists of five primary, distinct layers defined by temperature changes and altitude: the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere. These layers start at the surface and extend upward, regulating temperature, shielding from radiation, and supporting life. 

Key Layers of the Atmosphere (Lowest to Highest)

• Troposphere (0 to ~11-16 km): The lowest layer where all weather occurs, containing most of the atmosphere's water vapor and mass. Temperatures decrease with altitude.

• Stratosphere (~11 to 50 km): Contains the ozone layer which absorbs harmful UV radiation. Temperatures increase with altitude due to ozone absorption of sunlight.

• Mesosphere (~50 to 80-85 km): The coldest layer, where most meteors burn up upon entry.

• Thermosphere (~80 to 700 km): Contains the ionosphere, where auroras occur, and satellites orbit. Temperatures rise dramatically with height.

• Exosphere (~700 to 10,000 km): The outermost layer, which gradually fades into space. 

Secondary Features

• Ionosphere: A region within the thermosphere filled with charged particles.

• Magnetosphere: An outer region where charged particles are affected by Earth's magnetic field.

• Boundaries: The layers are separated by regions of abrupt temperature change, including the tropopause, stratopause, and mesopause. 

The concept of the "layers of Hell" most famously refers to the Nine Circles of Helldepicted in Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem, Inferno. In this vision, Hell is structured as a funnel-shaped pit where each layer represents a progressively worse category of sin and punishment. 

The Nine Circles of Dante’s Inferno

Dante's journey through Hell, guided by the poet Virgil, descends through these levels: 

1. Limbo: Home to the unbaptised and "virtuous pagans" who lived righteous lives but did not know Christ.

2. Lust: Sinners are buffeted by violent, eternal winds, symbolizing the lack of control they had over their passions.

3. Gluttony: A realm of icy, foul rain and slush where souls lie in filth, guarded by the three-headed dog Cerberus.

4. Greed (Avarice): Divided into two groups—those who hoarded wealth and those who squandered it—who must push heavy weights against each other for eternity.

5. Wrath (Anger): The wrathful fight each other on the surface of the River Styx, while the "sullen" are submerged beneath its muddy waters.

6. Heresy: Heretics are entombed in flaming crypts within the City of Dis.

7. Violence: Divided into three rings for those violent against others (in boiling blood), themselves (as gnarled trees), or God and nature (on burning sand).

8. Fraud: A complex level called Malebolge ("evil ditches") divided into ten separate pits for different types of deceivers, such as flatterers, thieves, and corrupt politicians.

9. Treachery: The deepest circle, reserved for those who betrayed their family, country, guests, or benefactors. It is a frozen lake where Satan himself is trapped in the center. 

Other Cultural & Modern Interpretations

While Dante's version is the most prevalent, other traditions and media use different layering systems: 

• Dungeons & Dragons: The "Nine Hells of Baator" are nine distinct infinite layers, each ruled by an Archdevil, such as Avernus, Dis, and Nessus.

• Chinese Mythology: Often references Eighteen Layers of Hell (Diyu), where souls undergo various punishments based on their earthly crimes.

• Video Games: Games like Ultrakill and the Dante's Inferno action game adapt the circles into distinct level designs or combat arenas.

• Religious Text: The Bible does not explicitly define "layers" of Hell, though it mentions various punishments and states like "Hades" or the "Lake of Fire".
