The sky is a great expanse of far background visible when no [[block]] or back wall acts as a barrier. [[Astronomy#Heavenly Bodies|Objects]] within it move in circular patterns, although at an [[:Category:Location|equator]] they may appear to move vertically. It has a cycle characterized by four parts: dawn, day, dusk, and night. | The sky is a great expanse of far background visible when no [[block]] or back wall acts as a barrier.

The sun disappears. The moon rises and stars appear. The light level is low. [[Dropbear]]s will attack blockheads passing by their location and occasionally roam from [[tree]] to tree. [[Scorpion]]s will become more aggressive. Solar panels will generate little to no electricity. | The sun disappears. The moon rises and stars appear. The light level is low.

There are four types of objects that can be seen in the sky: the sun, the moon, the stars, and clouds. Noting their motion may allow a player to identify where a [[World Location|part of a world]] is in the [[world]] | There are four types of objects that can be seen in the sky: the sun, the moon, the stars, and clouds.

Stars are very small spots of light visible in the night sky. They appear as if it were the same [[season]], time of day, and latitude, at 0° longitude. | Stars are very small spots of light visible in the night sky.

Clouds were added in [[Game updates/20141119|version 1.6]]. They are mostly decorative, moving through the sky without doing more than occasionally obscuring other heavenly bodies. Their color changes with the [[weather]] and they become difficult to see on rainy nights. | Clouds were added in [[Game updates/20141119|version 1.6]].
