Cronus is the Greek equivalent to Saturn: Uranus is the Greek god of the heavens.
The original personification of the Heavens was Ouranos (Uranus). He was supplanted and castrated by his son, Kronos (Cronus), who was king of the Titans, who also took over as the personification and god of the Heavens. When Kronos was overthrown, Zeus took for himself the loftiest throne, that of god of the Heavens.
To the Greeks, the heavens were all those things that were in the sky and above. Today we simplify the concept and simply say that they were gods of the sky.
