Detailed explanation-1: -Dante’s nine spheres of Heaven are the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Fixed Stars, and the Primum Mobile. These are associated by Dante with the nine levels of the angelic hierarchy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Q: What is meant by the nine circles of heaven? In Dante’s paradise, the nine circles of heaven are an allegory for the angelic hierarchy using the planets of our solar system as names including, in order, “the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Fixed Stars, and the Primum Mobile.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Yet not only did he hold on to his Catholic faith, he also created, amid the ruins of his life, arguably the greatest work of Catholic art of all time, an epic poem to which Pope Benedict XV, a 20th century successor of evil Pope Boniface, even devoted a papal encyclical. How had Dante done it?
Detailed explanation-4: -The whole cosmos, according to Dante, ultimately depends on God who, as the ground of all being, exists beyond space and time in the Empyrean. The Empyrean is an immaterial heaven, made up only of the love and metaphysical light which God is. It is in the Empyrean that the angels and the blessed also dwell.
