    The 'firmament' in Genesis 1:6-8 is shown in the Hebrew as 'raqia', which means 'an extended surface or an expanse'. In context with Genesis, the LORD God took the large body of water on the formless Earth, & separated the water by providing a firmament (& this is called heaven, or sky, verse 8). So one part of this body of water was on Earth (from which we get our oceans, seas, rivers, etc., verse 9) & the other body of water was above the firmament. Now, we're not told what happened to that water above or in the sky, as we're told about the water on Earth. Whether that water dissipated & formed clouds bearing the water, or something else, we're not told specifically.
