The sky primitive adds a background to a scene or display a 360-degree photo. It is an entity that prescribes a large sphere with the material mapped to the inside.

A plain color as a background:

<a-sky color="#6EBAA7"></a-sky>

Note that the sky primitive inherits common mesh attributes.

Equirectangular Image

In order to be seamless, images should be equirectangular. We can find some sample equirectangular images on Flickr. To take an equirectangular photo, check out this 360-degree photography guide.
