Matter is all around you. It is simply and object so for an example- a pen. How big the pen is, is how much space it takes up. Not very much space is being taken up. The bigger and object the more matter it has and the more space it takes up.
Most of matter itself remains empty space. The nucleus of an atom is orbited by a cloud of electrons. Only a tiny fraction of the total volume is consumed by these elementary particles. But assuming the matter forming a rock or a star is solid (and some big stars get compacted into lumps of neutronium--the most compact form of degenerate matter this side of a black hole), matter itself occupies only a tiny fraction of the total volume of space. Even considering that much of interstellar space may be not entirely void, but includes cosmic rays and hydrogen atoms of densities of 1000 atoms per cubic meter, Most of the volume of interstellar and intergalactic space remains void of anything.

The units generally used are metres cubed - 1 metre cubed is 1000 litres

Does matter take up lease space when energy is added to it?
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.
Why is sound not matter?
sound is not matter because it dose not take up space and it dose not have volume
What two things characterize all matter?
All matter 1) has mass and 2) occupies space (has volume).
Everything that has mass and takes up space?
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
What word describes anything that has mass and takes up space?
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.
What matter take up space?
Space doesn't take up any matter there is only vaccum in space.
What constitutes a matter?
Anything that has mass and takes up space is matter. Energy is not matter because it does not have mass nor does it take up space. Pretty much everything else is matter.
What a matters?
Anything that has mass and takes up space is matter. Energy is not matter because it does not have mass nor does it take up space. Pretty much everything else is matter.
Does matter have weight and take up space?
yeh matter have weight and take out space
What does matter take up?
Space
Does matter have mass and take up space?
Yes, all matter has a mass and takes up space.
Does a cloud take 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.
Does gases take up a definite amount of space?
No. Any amount of gas, no matter how little, always takes up as much space as you let it.
Does matter take up lease space when energy is added to it?
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.
What matter that does not occupy space?
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.
Are trees made from minerals?
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
If it takes up space and has mass it is?
Matter is anything that contains mass and takes up space. We are made up of matter, as is pretty much everything else.
