Look at the diagram below:

This is the molecular arrangement in gas, liquid and solid. We can say that the first jar represents the atmosphere of the Earth. If the air molecules in our atmosphere are arranged like this, there should be lots gap between them. What is there in this gap? If there is nothing in this gap, then there should be vacuum. So there should be vacuum in air.

That is probably one of the funniest and best answers I have seen.

A vacuum is a total lack of substance, of any kind. Since the atmosphere has substance then, by definition, it is not a vacuum
