The empty space between galaxies, known as intergalactic space, contains a very low density of particles, averaging about 1 atom per cubic meter. This density can vary slightly depending on the region of space, but it remains extremely sparse compared to denser environments like stars or galaxies. As a result, intergalactic space is often considered nearly a vacuum.

What is the universe like outside the galaxy?
There are other galaxies. Between the galaxies, there's lots of mainly empty space, with a very tenuous gas.
What is the deep space?
Deep space refers to the empty regions of space in between star systems, galaxies, etc.

What is between the helium atoms in a helium balloon?
When you look at atoms at that small of a level, between them you actually have empty space- nothing at all like in space. Even between the nucleus and its electrons of an atom itself there is a lot of empty space.
Where are stars seen and located?
We see the stars in the sky, from our perspective of being here on the Earth. Stars are grouped into galaxies of billions of stars, and there are vast almost-empty spaces between the galaxies.
Atoms are most likely packed in?
Atoms are most likely packed in a closely packed arrangement, such as a face-centered cubic (FCC) or a hexagonal close-packed (HCP) structure. These arrangements allow for efficient packing of atoms with minimal empty space between them.
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.
If space is empty where does the things the black hole go once its gone?
Space is only empty in between the objects it contains... the galaxies - and the stars and their planets within the galaxies. The things which go into a black hole get compressed to an incredible density..... the whole earth compressed to the size of a pea, for example. This can happen because an atom is largely empty space itself.... there is a lot of emptiness between the protons at the centre and the electrons. The tighter an atom can be compressed, the tighter and denser the thing it comprises becomes.
What a volume of space that is empty of matter?
There may not be any such place, but the farther you get from stars (including ours) the less matter you find. Presumably between galaxies you might find very empty space. Such a volume of space is called a 'vacuum'.
Are gold atoms composed of mostly matter or empty space?
All atoms are mostly empty space, as the electromagnetic repulsion between atomic nuclei keep them from reaching each other (except under extreme pressure, as in the center of stars).
What fills the space between galaxies?
To a large extent, empty space. But there are also isolated stars and other objects, as well as dust and gas. It seems that the intergalactic gas in a galaxy cluster, though thinly spread, has about as much mass as all the galaxies!
What best describes the organization of the universe?
The universe is organized into structures such as galaxies, which are made up of stars, gas, and dust. These galaxies are arranged in clusters and superclusters, with vast empty spaces in between. The overall structure of the universe is governed by gravity and the distribution of dark matter.
