Exegesis
The direct objects are two coordinated neuter plurals, terata {τέρατα | té-ra-ta} ‘wonders’ and sēmeia {σημεῖα | sē-meî-a} ‘signs,’ each modified by a distinct locative prepositional phrase: en tō ouranō anō {ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω | en tôi ouranō̂ á-nō} ‘in the heaven above’ and epi tēs gēs katō {ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κάτω | e-pí tês gês ká-tō} ‘upon the earth beneath.’
The adverbs anō {ἄνω | á-nō} and katō {κάτω | ká-tō} sharpen the vertical contrast and create a balanced spatial parallelism between heaven and earth.
In context — Acts 2:19
And I will give wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below—blood and fire and vapor of smoke .
