Upper reaches of the air (5)

I believe the answer is:

ether

(Other definitions for ether that I've seen before include "Volatile solvent" , "Anaesthetic; clear sky (poetic)" , "Colourless volatile highly inflammable liquid" , "What's clear" , "Imaginary interstellar medium" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
