Do hot water take up more space than cold water?
Yes until it turns to ice when it take sup more space than hot water.
Most of the matter in the universe exists as?
Matter is made up of elements and compounds, which are made up of atoms. But in an atom, most of the volume that it takes up is empty space. So all matter is mostly made up of empty space.
Who was the African American scientist who discovered more than 200 uses for peanuts?

Does a full bottle of soda have more mass than a empty bottle?
err, yes, because: bottle mass + soda mass > bottle mass
Can travel though empty space?
Yes, you can travel through empty space. The Sun, Earth, moon, satellites, space ships, atoms, and subatomic particles all travel through empty space. Greater than 99.999% of matter is empty space.
What experiments demonstrated that atoms are mostly empty space?
The alpha particle scattering experiment by Ernest Rutherford (1911) demonstrates that more than 99.9% of an atom contains empty space.
Is light faster in gas or in an empty space?
Usually, in most substances the speed of light is slower than in empty space.
Which of these takes up the most space in an atom?
The thing that takes up the most space of an atom at about 99.99% of the size of the atom is empty space. The majority of the remaining 0.01% is found in the nucleus and about 0.00001% of the atom is taken by the electrons.
Why does light travel faster through empty space than matter?
It doesn't travel faster through a vacuum. In our Universe there is no such thing as empty space.
Which is a comparison of the speed of light in a material compared to the speed of light in empty space?
The speed of light in any material medium is less than it is in empty space.
What could the results be of an impact of space junk and asteroids into the asteroid belt?

Why does one kilogram of foam take up more space than one kilogram of rock?

Why might you say the solar system is mostly 'empty space'?
Everything is mostly space. The diameter of the sun is 865 thousand miles, which is a bit under a million. The radius of the earth's orbit is 93 million miles, almost 100 million. Sedna, which isn't even outside the solar system, orbits 900 times as far (currently).
Why did man walk on the moon before it was discovered that wheels could be put on luggage?
Because people were more curious about space than convenience.
What intrested Albert Einstein?
When he was five his dad showed him a compass. Einstein knew there had to be something more than empty space there turning the needle. This is said to have inspired him.
How do you best compare the amount of empty space in the universe to the amount of space galaxies occupy?
The amount of empty space in the Universe, between galaxies, is many times larger than the amount of space occupied by galaxies. This ratio depends on what part of the Universe you are looking at. For example, our galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years; the closest larger galaxy (M31) is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years. However, that's just the Local Group; from the Local Group to another galaxy cluster, there is even more empty space.
