What is the emptiness of outer space made of?

Answer 1

Well, space is made out of atoms. Atoms are thought to be the smallest thing on Earth but it may not be true. You all know that everything even us are made of these tiny particles called atoms. Atoms is the thing that has created the universe.

Bing Bang also known as the birth of the universe occured along long time ago even before our sun yet our solar system was created! This couldn't have happened if the tiny particles called atoms and what atoms are made of AKA isotopes. To understand this scientists use a formula to reduce their information and open it up into tiny information to lead to the big fact.

Now, when all these atoms formed a big big ball of gas,dust, and electrons it exploded and that's how it happened! After that galaxies started to form by themselves. So atoms could be known as the smallest thing on earth is what the unverse is created of!

Surprising isn't it?

Answer 2

The emptiness of space is made of nothing -- absolutely nothing. There are various particles, chunks of rock, dust and gases, but they are made of matter. The space itself is just space. Lots and lots of space.

Answer 3

According to cosmologists most of the universe is invisible. The stuff that we can actually see from atoms and molecules including gas and dust to planets, stars and galaxies only make up a mere 4% of all the visible matter. It is widely accepted today that around 96% of the entire universe is unseen. 22% of this unseen material has been dubbed "Dark Matter" and 74% is "Dark Energy". This dark matter is what some astrophysicists believes that keeps the galaxies together and prevents them from flying apart. Some even conger up the thought that dark matter could be made up of WIMPS (weakly interacting massive particles). One wimp candidate is exotic subatomic neutrinos. Dark energy is proposed to be a repulsive gravitational force that causes the universe to expand and induces the galaxies away from one another at ever increasing speeds.

Answer 4

The elements in outer space are basically the same as on Earth. However, their distribution is different. Hydrogen and helium (in that order) are the most abundant elements in the Universe in general; on Earth, they are not.

Answer 5

It is not made of anything (it is a near-perfect vacuum). The near-perfect part is because space has a few stray atoms floating in it.

Answer 6

The distinguishing characteristic of "space" is that there is nothing in it ... no atmosphere,

no nothing. The term most often used to describe it is "vacuum".

Answer 7

Space is made of nothing. It's empty.
