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. See Also Decals How to make changes to the skybox

Clone( )
Returns	Instance
Description:	Returns a clone of the object and its children, unless its Archivable property is false. The clone will have the same properties as the original object and the same descendants (except those with an Archivable property set to false). The clone's Parent will be nil.
Member of:	Instance

FindFirstChild( string name, bool recursive = false )
Returns	Instance
Description:	Returns the first child found with a name of name. Returns nil if no such child exists. If the optional recursive argument is true, will recursively descend the hierarchy while searching rather than only searching the immediate object.
Member of:	Instance

Description:	Returns a read-only table of the object's children.
Member of:	Instance

Returns	String path to object
Description:	Returns a string with a dot (.) character separating a path of object hierarchy excluding "game".

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.
Member of	Instance

Parent
Type	Instance
Description	The hierarchical parent of the object. When no scripts hold references to an object, it will still be maintained as long as it's parent is set to an object which does have references to it, either by other objects or scripts. 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.
Member of	Instance

Archivable
Type	bool
Description	Sets whether or not the object is saved when publishing or saving to file. Also sets whether or not the object is clonable.
Member of	Instance
