Compare the two sentences below:
Example: I threw the ball to John.
I threw a cup at John.
In classic English, "out of" is the normal preposition of direction. Example: "I went out of the house." There is a small difference between "over" and "above" as prepositions of position. Above means over, but not touching. So you could say "There are clouds above London", but it would be strange to say "There is fog above London".
The following chart lists different prepositions of direction, their definitions, and examples.
