However, that piece of land quickly got overcrowded, so the Mu built gigantic flying cities that allowed the vast majority of them to live anywhere over the vast ocean. RahXephon: The Mu world is not quite a World in the Sky: there's one landmass.Zeppelins and hot-air balloons are the most common transportations (as well as flying broomsticks for sorcerers). The islands in Radiant aren't floating, they're at the top of very high and narrow mountains, but the effect is similar.
Fairy Tail: Edolas from the Anima arc is an Earthlike land with an assortment of floating islands, including the one carrying the Exceeds' homeland of Exteria, and another that the King used to store the Magnolia La'cryma. The titular location of Doraemon: Nobita and the Kingdom of Clouds is a city built by a race of technologically advanced ancient humans in the skies, using their technology to turn clouds into solid ground for them to construct their cities upon. Other times, it may be in Another Dimension or an Elemental Plane where things don't work quite by the rules of regular physics. In some cases, the World in the Sky may have been created or settled specifically to escape whatever made the original surface unsuitable for life. Sometimes, a World in the Sky may be placed above a more conventional world which, for whichever reason, is largely or entirely uninhabitable. Sci-fi versions will generally be landmass floating inside gas giant's atmosphere. Do not expect the outcome of falling off the side of one of these pieces to be properly explored. What keeps them hovering? Where does the gravity come from? What's keeping the atmosphere in place? What, if anything, is there at the "bottom" of these worlds? Nobody knows, but maybe A Wizard Did It. Impossible note or nearly impossible - see The Integral Trees under physics resembling ours, worlds of this type are usually found exclusively in fantasy. They can range in size from tiny "islands" to huge continents with vast civilizations. Landmasses, with or without internal seas, float suspended in an atmosphere.

This is less a World Shape, and more a series of world pieces.
