The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.
Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it should use the kun'yomi reading. When learning the kanji, you didn't learn that reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you with this word:
In the sky, you are the ruler. You are known as "The soarer!" (そら). Imagine your theme song and make sure it includes "soarer of the sky" or something awesome like that.
