Matter takes up space because it exists. It takes up space because it has depth. If it didn't take up space it would be a 2D object and nothing could be made of matter. Because everything is made up of matter, matter must take up space.
Matter occupies space because of the Pauli Exclusion Principle and because of electrostatic interactions.
I'm generalizing, but the Pauli Exclusion Principle basically says that we can never have any two identical particles (say, atoms in a piece of iron) in the same position at the same time. So, in order to satisfy this principle, they spread out so they don't tread on each others territory.
Also, atoms are composed of negatively charged electrons surrounding positively charged protons in the nucleus. When you try to push two atoms together, their nuclei will repel each other due to the electrostatic force (+ and + repel). Also, their electrons will repel in a more complicated way. This also prevents atoms from getting too close to each other.
These two things put together explain why you can't put your hand through a solid wall.
One last thing - Check this out the Bose Einstein Condensates. If you cool atoms down to near absolute zero, and are very careful, you can get millions of atoms to occupy the same space at the same time!

Matter does not take up less space when energy is added to it. This is because energy is not a physical unity and therefore it does not interfere with the occupancy of space by matter.
sound is not matter because it dose not take up space and it dose not have volume
All matter 1) has mass and 2) occupies space (has volume).
Theres likely a few quantum mechanic theories that are screaming at me but essentially yes, for it to have mass it must be made of matter for it to be made of matter it must take up some space even if its a tiny amount
The word you're looking for is "matter." Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space, and it is the fundamental substance that makes up all physical objects in the universe.
Space doesn't take up any matter there is only vaccum in space.
yeh matter have weight and take out space
Space
Yes, all matter has a mass and takes up space.
Yes. Clouds are composed of water, which is matter. Matter is described as anything that takes up space, and therefore, clouds take up space.
Matter does not take up less space when energy is added to it. This is because energy is not a physical unity and therefore it does not interfere with the occupancy of space by matter.
There isn't a type of matter that doesn't occupy space, because matter is defined as having mass and taking up space. If it didn't take up space, it wouldn't be matter.
Why yes, yes they do. "Matter" is basically a thing that can take up space and you could touch it. Do Trees take up space? -- Yes. THEREFORE, trees are made up of matter. Humans also take up space and are made up of matter. Gases are also matter. XP
Mass
It has to take up space. (Have mass)
(all) matter.
matter can take up spaceit has volume
