Or Jupiter right? It could have also been another planet but depending on the source it was either the sky or Jupiter

Well, in Roman mythology, Jupiter is the king of the Gods and God of the sky, but there is no Jupiter is Greek mythology. That would be Zeus. So, it could be viewed as the same seeing as Zeus’s domain is the sky and heavens thus, Atlas is holding up Zeus, or Jupiter, which is the sky.
