Note: This documentation is for the old 0.9.0 version of A-Frame. Check out the documentation for the current 1.7.0 version
The sky primitive adds a background color or 360° image to a scene. A sky is a large sphere with a color or texture mapped to the inside.
Example
An equirectangular image as a background:
| <a-scene> | 
A plain color as a background:
| <a-sky color="#6EBAA7"></a-sky> |

Equirectangular Image
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.
