Is Akash a God?

Could you please clarify for me, is Akash considered a deity or divine figure? Could you expand on that by explaining what Akash might represent in different belief systems, or what specific traits or powers are attributed to him?

I'm particularly interested in understanding the reasons why some people might believe Akash to be a God and the arguments or evidence that support such a belief. Could you provide a comprehensive overview of these points, keeping your explanation concise yet informative? Thank you.
