No, the celestial sphere is a notional entity which is basically the "background" of stars against which the Sun, planets, etc., appear to move throughout the year. It is convenient for astronomical notation. The ancients used to believe there were some kind of spheres which stars and other celestial objects occupied and which was used to explain their movement.
