How many openings did Noah's ark have and what were they?

The key idea is the ark’s described design in Genesis: it has two openings, a single door and a single window. The door is placed on the side of the ark for entry and exit, while a lone window was to be made to light and ventilate the vessel. The text specifies these two features specifically, and there’s no mention of multiple doors or multiple windows. Also, the phrase “windows of heaven” refers to the rain from above, not ark openings, so it doesn’t count as an ark feature. So the best answer is that Noah’s ark had two openings in total: one door and one window.
