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. 

Ocean water is divided into five distinct, density-driven layers based on sunlight penetration, temperature, and pressure: the Sunlit (Epipelagic, 0-200m), Twilight (Mesopelagic, 200-1000m), Midnight (Bathypelagic, 1000-4000m), Abyssal (Abyssopelagic, 4000-6000m), and Hadal zones (>6000m). These layers, separated by thermoclines, prevent significant mixing. 

Key Ocean Layers (Pelagic Zone)

• Epipelagic Zone (Sunlight Zone) - 0-200m: The surface layer where most light and heat are present, supporting the majority of marine life.

• Mesopelagic Zone (Twilight Zone) - 200-1000m: Faint sunlight, home to a mix of creatures, and contains the thermocline (rapid temperature change).

• Bathypelagic Zone (Midnight Zone) - 1000-4000m: Pitch black, high pressure, and cold; only faint light from bioluminescent animals.

• Abyssopelagic Zone (Abyssal Zone) - 4000-6000m: Extremely high pressure and near-freezing temperatures.

• Hadopelagic Zone (Hadal Zone) - >6000m: Deep ocean trenches, where pressures are immense. 

Key Factors Affecting Layers

• Density: Denser, colder, saltier water sinks, forming deeper layers.

• Thermocline: A transition layer where water temperature decreases rapidly with depth.

• Light Penetration: Determines the biological activity of each layer.

• Lake Stratification: Similar to the ocean, lakes have warm surface water (epilimnion), a middle layer (thermocline), and cold, deep water (hypolimnion). 

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".
