Why is air a matter?
Air consists of a variety of different gases in relative proportions. Air is composed of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, and other elements and compounds. These elements and compounds have a mass and they take up space. Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space (matter has a mass and volume). Air is matter because it fits the definition of matter (based on its properties and how we currently think about matter).
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 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.
Why are sunlight and gravity not considered matter?
