There may not be any such place, but the farther you get from stars
(including ours) the less matter you find. Presumably between galaxies
you might find very empty space.
Such a volume of space is called a 'vacuum'.

Most of the volume of matter, like a tabletop, is considered empty space because the atoms that make up matter are mostly empty space themselves. Atoms consist of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by electrons orbiting at a relatively large distance from the nucleus. So while matter may appear solid, it is mostly made up of empty space within the atomic structure.
Tim concluded that all matter is mostly made of empty space because when he studied the structure of atoms, he found that they consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons orbiting at a distance. The vast majority of an atom's volume is empty space between the nucleus and the electrons, leading Tim to believe that matter is mostly empty space.
the word VOLUME means a piece of a three dimensional space that could be completely empty like the space in an empty box. The word matter in modern physics is a substance that consists of atoms. these two concepts are somehow related. A piece of matter always occupies some space, but a piece or a unit of volume could be completely or is better to say VIRTUALLY empty.
This is the definition of a gas.
An empty volume of space refers to a region in the universe that contains no matter or particles. It is devoid of any physical substance, including gas, dust, planets, stars, or any other form of mass. These empty spaces are characterized by a lack of electromagnetic radiation and are often found in the vast expanse of outer space.
To determine the percentage of empty space in a square cleaning sponge, you would first calculate the total volume of the sponge. Then, measure the volume of the material in the sponge (not including empty space). Finally, divide the volume of empty space by the total volume and multiply by 100 to get the percentage of empty space.
Yes, this is essentially true. Well over 99.9% of the mass of any atom is in the nucleus. The electrons in their orbitals around that nucleus actually determine the spacial volume that the atom occupies. And on an atomic scale, the distance from the nucleus to the outer boundaries of the electron cloud is enormous. The atom is mostly empty space, and, therefore, anything made up of atoms is mostly empty space.
The amount of space that matter occupies is its volume.
No. Gasses are matter.
The empty space could be filled with liquid or solid matter.
VOLUME!
