Celestial deities are gods and goddesses associated with the heavens, often representing celestial bodies like the sun, moon, and stars. In Greek mythology, Helios and Selene are personifications of the sun and moon, respectively, while in Egyptian mythology, Ra is the sun god who travels across the sky in a chariot.
These celestial figures are often seen as powerful beings who influence both the cosmos and the lives of humans. Many cultures believed these gods controlled the day and night cycles, seasons, and the forces of nature. The worship of celestial deities is common across ancient mythologies and often involves prayers and rituals for favor and protection.
