Derived Classes
None
The Sky object is an object, when placed inside Lighting, will change the appearance of the game's sky. This allows for a custom sky to be used as opposed to the Roblox default sky. The Skybox is composed of six sides, much like that of a cube. If the skybox is changed/customised, the Sun and other objects in the sky will remain visible, unless you turn off the Sky object's CelestialBodiesShown property, which will remove the Sun, Moon, and stars from the sky. The recommended picture dimensions for a Skybox side are 512x512 pixels. By adjusting the StarCount property of the Sky object, you can change how many stars will appear in the sky at night.

| Name
| |
| Type | string |
| Description | The name of the object, which is often used to identify it in the context of its parent. Note that names are not unique identifiers; multiple children of an object may share the same name. In a script where you want to access an object using a name, for example, game.Workspace["Brick"], the first object found with that name is that object. This "first object" can be found in the Explorer menu.Names are great for showing a very brief title or summary of an object. |

| |
| Type | Instance |
| Description | The hierarchical parent of the object.

The toplevel DataModel object (the one referred to as the "game" by scripts) has no parent, but always has a reference held to it by the game engine, and exists for the duration of a session. |
