The dwelling place of Jehovah God and of faithful spirit creatures; a realm invisible to human eyes. The Bible also uses the term “heaven(s)” in a variety of other senses; for example: to represent God himself, his organization of faithful spirit creatures, a position of divine favor, the physical universe apart from the earth, the expanse surrounding planet Earth, human governments under Satan’s domination, and the righteous new heavenly government in which Jesus Christ with his joint heirs are empowered by Jehovah to rule.
“God is a Spirit,” says the Bible. (John 4:24) Therefore, he resides in a spiritual realm independent of the physical universe. When the Bible refers to “the heavens” as God’s dwelling place, it is referring to the loftiness of the place where he resides in contrast with the material environment in which we reside. In any event, the Bible teaches that God’s abode is, indeed, clearly distinguished from the physical universe but is at the same time a very specific location, in HEAVEN.—Job 2:1-2.

It is written in the Holy Bible that the earth is a circuit and the heavens are a circuit.
Paul talked of an out or in the body experience where one saw the indescribable beauty of the 3rd heaven.
Some who have died and prayed back to life have seen heavens pearly gates.
Jesus said that His Kingdom is not of this world. He said that He goes to prepare a place for us.
God is the Father, Word, & Holy Spirit. The Kingdom of God is within. It is a spiritual connection.
Heaven is paradise. Heaven is the New Heavenly Jerusalem with the foundational names of the 12 Apostles of the Lamb of God. And the 12 Pearly gates with the names of the 12 tribes of Israel.

In my opinion according to 'where' it is, it's undefinable. Except if you look at it as a 5th dimension (3D space and time being the other four)- the spiritual dimension, which within our universe has no location that we could ever, no matter how technologically advanced we become, travel there. As for what it is, it is where God in visible body form(I say this because I believe God also resides here in our universe, in our world, just physically not visible to the eye except by way of his creation) resides with his host of angels. until after death no one will understand or even come close to comprehending the reality and whereabouts of Heaven.

Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people.... A place God is preparing for people who believe in him and his son Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins......I guess it's beyond the clouds and beyond space....never been there I'm just guessing but I can't wait to find out!!!! God is in heaven sitting on the throne....I guess he's there watching over us assigning angels to each and everyone of us to answer our prayers and protect us throughout the day :) I could go on and on but I don't have that much space :).

Heaven is high up--like way up there. So far away it can't be seen by even the Hubble Telescope. It takes trillions of light years to get there and once you do, well, god, the streets are all clean, there's free stuff, all kinds of free stuff, for everyone-except for non-believers, like Christians (to the Muslims), Muslims (to the Christians), Jews (to the Muslims and Christians), Muslims and Christians (to the Jews), and everyone is happy and there are no diseases or sadness or sex. Oh, and chickens can fly there.

You can't describe heaven paticular because it has all good and wonderful things you can hardly imagine in you whole life. Also you don't know where it is only god knows. You can't say where do you believe where god is becasue only he will know where he is watching over us so in paticular he will be in many places.God is not imaginary, if he is then what do you believe in?

It is above the firmament. The firmament separates the Earth from heaven and the sun, moon, planets, stars, and galaxies are embedded in it. It clearly states this in the first chapter of Genesis.
I should point out that, strictly speaking, it is a figment of a primitive people's imagination.
