Richard Caleskie asked:
Thank you for the reply concerning the earth and the sun. It was helpful.
Would you please define "7th heaven" and "the 7 heavens" accordng to Torah?
Are they physical? spiritual? Do they occupy space comparable to galaxies or universes? I read that each
plays a specific such as being a storehouse for rain, etc.

The Kollel replies:
The Gemara in Chagigah 12b lists the activity which takes place in each heaven, such as the one you mentioned. With the possible exception of the lower one (see Chagigah there), they probably are spiritual features.
