Is it possible to have photons in space?
Certainly photons exist in space. Electromagnetic energy travels most freely in space. The light you see from the sun and the stars all consists of photons.
What is in everything that takes up space?
Bosons, for example light particles (photons), don't take up space. Bosons and fermions are the two different classes of fundamental particles. Fermions take up space. Now particles with mass don't always take up space, for example the force carrier particles of the weak nuclear force, they are bosons and therefore take up no space but they are quite massive (for particles).
How long does it take Photons at the core to the surface?
It can take up to 200,000 years to reach the surface
Is anything that has mass and takes up space is matter?
True, Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass<3 However, physicists say that some particles of matter are massless, such as photons.
Are electrons moving through space light?
No; light is photons.
What thing do not have mass and do not occupy space?
Photons or electromagnetic radiation.
Does matter have to have mass to take up space?
Yes, but not all particles have to have mass. remember that those particles (photons... etc) aren't matter at all but gauge bosons. Gauge bosons occupy a single zero-dimentional point (except for when it's a wave; see particle-wave duality), because they have no mass, and thus don't take up space.
What matter take up space?
Space doesn't take up any matter there is only vaccum in space.
Does your browsing history take up space on an iPad?
Yes it does take up space.
Plant take in the sun's energy by absorbing?
Sunlight, in the form of photons.
What are gamma rays made up of?
Electromagnetic energy, photons.
Is matter anything that takes up space and has mass?
True, Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass<3 However, physicists say that some particles of matter are massless, such as photons.
