The word Kashata literally means to skin a dead animal after slaughter. When it is skinned, it exposes what was hidden inside the skin.
Earlier, Allah mentioned how the sun and the stars will be wrapped up and plucked out. It is as if Allah is slaughtering - destroying - the sky. Now Allah skins it, and takes away its coverings to expose what was hidden behind it. Paradise and Hell.
