heavens, sky, imperial
天 centers on the vast expanse above: the sky, the heavens, and by extension the imperial realm seen as divinely connected to the sky.
天 is a pictograph of a person with an emphasized head, representing the sky or heavens above. The modern form shows a horizontal line over 大 (person), symbolizing the sky above a person.
The top horizontal line represents the sky, and 大 below is a person with arms outstretched. Together, 天 shows the heavens above a person.
For テン, imagine ten (テン) clouds stretching across the sky: ten -> テン, and the sky is filled with them.
