The verb form "to sky" is almost never seen in US English, as the main use is in British English, to mean "toss high into the air" (e.g. to sky a pitch).

The are two other uses, equally exotic. One is to lift an oar too high out of the water when rowing competitively (to sky the oar). The other is a very old verb meaning to place something high on a wall, such as a painting (to sky it out of sight). The related noun sky is a very old term referring to the topmost row of paintings in a gallery.

Both are correct, but the meaning is not the same.-- The word skies is the plural of sky (usually for effect, e.g. the dark skies above the valley).-- The word sky's is a possessive with 's at the end (e.g. the sky's deep blue color).*The apostrophe form can be used, as in speech, to mean (the) sky is (e.g. the sky's the limit, or I can see that the sky's cloudy today)
