It isn't. Unless you mean why is matter considered mostly empty space, in which case the answer is: because it is. The space considered to be occupied by atoms is mostly the electron cloud, the nucleus only takes up a very small portion of the atom. For example, the nuclear diameter compared to the atomic diameter is 1:23000 for uranium and 1:145000 for hydrogen.
