Air, like all matter, is attracted to other matter. The bigger the "other matter" the stronger the attraction. Because of this, matter (including air) tends to clump together into masses (planets, stars). This process inevitably leaves gaps in-between these masses that don't contain any matter. Collectively, these airless gaps are referred to as "space" or "the vacuum".
