What shape is the sky?

It is definitely a hemisphere when viewed from anywhere on Earth, but it is really a complete sphere. Astronomically, it is measured in degrees, minutes and seconds, with the latitude called "declination" and the longitude called "right ascension", and there are two poles, called "the north celestial pole" and "the south celestial pole" The sky rotates once in every 23 hours, 56 minutes, around these poles. Ask any professional Astronomer if you don't believe me.

How far up? The shape of the sky changes with altitude.

Depends on which level of the atmosphere you're talking about. Just kidding, our sky is a sphere shape!

The sky is shaped like the Earth. But it really depends on your perspective. If you look out you will see a horizon and then as you look up your eyes will be filled by the sky.
If you are in Outerspace then you can see almost half of the Earth's ...
Ahhh who cares.

Blue.....spherical. The sky is the atmosphere when viewed from any point on the earths surface so it basically mirrors the shape and outline of the earth.

Well, the sky isn't solid, so It's possible that it has no shape, that;s if you wanna see it one way. Another way, it's round I guess.

Infinite.
The sky is actually the whole universe, so there's no telling how large it is.
In other words, the sky opens up to a whole emptiness.
