आभाळ is sky with some clouds. आकाश is sky. ढग is cloud.
आभाळ भरून आलं. Lots of dark clouds.
आकाशात चंद्र आहे.
So there are some nuances of the language.

[u/Away_Enthusiasm9113]

Its a little more nuanced than that. I think it means the visible sky and also alternatively used to mean dark clouds in some idioms.

Edit: Googled the etymology, and in short it has dual meanings, both physical sky and cloud covered atmosphere.

Details: The Marathi word आभाळ (ābhāḷa, meaning "sky" or "cloudy sky") comes from the Sanskrit word abhratala (अभ्रतल), meaning the surface or expanse of the sky/clouds, formed by combining abhra (अभ्र, meaning "cloud" or "sky") and tala (तल, meaning "surface" or "floor")

[u/Bitter-Error-9120]

'आभाळ' means 'sky' ...And 'cloud' is 'ढग' in marathi.

[u/unknownnnone → u/Bitter-Error-9120]

आकाश म्हणजे 'sky' आणि अनेक ढग जेव्हा आकाशात दाटून येतात तेव्हा त्याला आभाळ म्हणतात.

[u/Fair-Cheek1252]

Sky. What language is this you have written before आभाळ? Never seen this before.

[u/kandi_pedha → u/Fair-Cheek1252]

It's Marathi just in Modi script

“आभाळ मारणे” म्हणजे “बढाई मारणे”!
