Can an object occupy a space which is occupied by another object?

No. With large objects it is easy to see that they cannot occupy the same space. Smaller objects can appear as if they can occupy the same space but, at the molecular level they cannot. For example, you can dissolve sugar in a glass of water and it looks as if they are both occupying the same shape - but they are not. At the sub-atomic level, the Pauli exclusion principle prevents objects (electrons) occupying the same space.

Friction ... no two objects can occupy the same space at the same time ... something has to move, and that continual process may create heat and friction.


May two electrons occupy the same space orbital in an atom?

Two electrons can occupy the same space orbital in an atom if they have different spins. This is known as Hund's Rule.

Does heat and light occupy spaced?

Heat does not occupy space, as heat is just particles vibrating more rapidly. However, if you heat something up, it will occupy more space, due to its particles vibrating over a wider area. Light is much more complicated due to the weirdness of quantum mechanics. Light is made of photons. They're particles but not in the same way that molecules, atoms, electrons, neutrons and protons are. Light can behave like waves of energy instead of particles. Normal particles such as electrons occupy a bit of space and 2 of them cannot occupy the same space at the same time. A photon occupies the bit of space it's in, sort of, but another photon can occupy the same space at the same time. So if you have an electon-sized space you can put only one electron in it. If you have a photo-sized space you can put as many photons into it as you want.
