Mass and energy always have locations in both time and space; the amount of space that they take up depends upon their density, but they do take up some. Since energy is often associated with matter (heat, kinetic energy etc.) it would be the matter that takes up the space. The energy would be in the same space as the matter. But energy can also exist independently of matter (such as a photon of light travelling in space) and in that case, the energy takes up space.

What has no mass and doesn't take up space?
A mathematical point in space has no dimensions therefore takes up no space. Certain particles have no rest mass but have the energy equivalent because of the velocity they possess. A singularity is a theoretical no volume point but has a huge mass.
Is a vacuum still a vacuum if there are electromagnetic waves in the vacuum?
Yes, a vacuum is still a vacuum if electromagnetic waves are present. A vacuum is an area with no matter in it. We know that matter is anything which has mass and takes up space. Electromagnetic waves have no mass, and certianly take up no space. They're energy.
What is the term defined as anything that has mass and can take up space?
matter
Has mass takes up space?
Yes. Mass takes up space. Example you. You have mass and you utilize space.
Why are sunlight and gravity not considered matter?
Neither have mass or take up space
Is energy anything that has the mass and takes up space?
No. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space (has volume). Energy has no mass and does not take up space, therefore it is not matter.

What is something that has mass and take up space?
One object that takes up space and has mass is matter.Anything that takes up space and has mass is called matter in physics. This is anything that has physical substance.
What is non-matter in chemistry?
It is Energy; either this and/or empty space.
What a matters?
Anything that has mass and takes up space is matter. Energy is not matter because it does not have mass nor does it take up space. Pretty much everything else is matter.
What constitutes a matter?
Anything that has mass and takes up space is matter. Energy is not matter because it does not have mass nor does it take up space. Pretty much everything else is matter.

Is it possible for something to take up space and not have a mass?
no taking up space is having mass.
Does matter have mass and take up space?
Yes, all matter has a mass and takes up space.
How much space does tidal energy take up?
Energy takes up no space, at all.
Does everything take up space?
Anything with mass takes up space.
What is called anything that has mass and takes up space?
Anything that has mass and takes up space is called matter. Matter is what makes up every known thing.
