the word "al sama" is singular, thus it could mean "sky" or "heaven" and since it mentions the plural of this word (samawat) later in 41:12 the latter word is more likely to refer to "heavens".

Cross-reference the word "smoke", it only appears one other time in Quran and that is 44:10 and that verse clearly shows that when the singular "al sama" will be with smoke it will envelop the people thus further confirms it refers to "sky" or our "atmosphere".

Thus the sequence in these verses would be:

created the earth in two periods/ages

made mountains, measured its provisions in four periods/ages

the sky/atmosphere was smoke and some sort of event happened to earth and sky (to make it ready i presume)
