Does light occupy space?
no
Does stone occupy space?
A stone has a solid mass and does occupy space.
Does liquid ocoppy space?
Yes, liquid does occupy space. All matter (liquids, solids, gas, etc) occupy space.
Why cant you light a match in space?
No. Because there is no oxygen as there is only vacuum.
Is Steam it occupy space?
Yes, it does.
Why light does not occupy space?
Light is a form of energy and energy does not occupy space.
Does light occupy space?
no
Do heat and light can occupy space?
No. They are energy, not matter.
Do light and heat occupy space?
Good question.
What is the mass of visible light?
Light is a type of energy.Energies do not have a mass or occupy space.
Why does smoke ocupy space?
Smoke is made up of small particles which have tiny mass. Any massive can occupy space. Light being electromagnetic cannot occupy space but traverses through space.
Does heat and light occupy spaced?
Heat does not occupy space, as heat is just particles vibrating more rapidly. However, if you heat something up, it will occupy more space, due to its particles vibrating over a wider area. Light is much more complicated due to the weirdness of quantum mechanics. Light is made of photons. They're particles but not in the same way that molecules, atoms, electrons, neutrons and protons are. Light can behave like waves of energy instead of particles. Normal particles such as electrons occupy a bit of space and 2 of them cannot occupy the same space at the same time. A photon occupies the bit of space it's in, sort of, but another photon can occupy the same space at the same time. So if you have an electon-sized space you can put only one electron in it. If you have a photo-sized space you can put as many photons into it as you want.
Why is lighting not matter?
Light hasn't mass.
Why is light not a form of matter?
It doesn't have mass or take up space. <><><><><> Light is energy, and energy is matter, according to Einstein. Besides, it has been proved that light is affected by Gravity and, in order to do that, it has to have mass. Look again at Einstein and others, such as Lorentz... The photon has no mass, or does it? True, it seems to have no mass, but that is at rest state. Multiply that by infinity to account for mass increase and time dilation due to traveling at the speed of light, and what do you get? Something that looks like a particle, having mass, traveling at the speed of light.
Does smoke occupy space?

Matter does not occupy space but has mass?
Matter does occupy space, and does have mass.
Does stone occupy space?
A stone has a solid mass and does occupy space.
