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'.

The reason a granite block is mostly empty space is that the atoms in the granite are?
Yes, this is essentially true. Well over 99.9% of the mass of any atom is in the nucleus. The electrons in their orbitals around that nucleus actually determine the spacial volume that the atom occupies. And on an atomic scale, the distance from the nucleus to the outer boundaries of the electron cloud is enormous. The atom is mostly empty space, and, therefore, anything made up of atoms is mostly empty space.
What is the amount of space that matter in an object occupies?
The amount of space that matter in an object occupies is its volume.
Is the amount of space that matter in an object occupies?
The amount of space that matter in an object occupies is its volume.
What is the answer toThe amount of space that matter occupies is referred to as?

What does light travel through best empty space or matter?
Light travels fastest through empty space.
What a volume of space that is empty of matter?

Why can we state that most of the volume of matter such as the tabletop you are writing on is actually empty space?
Because the space between atomic particles, atoms and molecules is empty.
What is the diffience between mass and volume?
the word VOLUME means a piece of a three dimensional space that could be completely empty like the space in an empty box. The word matter in modern physics is a substance that consists of atoms. these two concepts are somehow related. A piece of matter always occupies some space, but a piece or a unit of volume could be completely or is better to say VIRTUALLY empty.
What is a kind of matter with a volume and a shape that both change to fill up empty space?
This is the definition of a gas.

The amount of space that matter in an object occupies is its volume.
What is the empty space where gas molecules are not located?
The empty space could be filled with liquid or solid matter.
Are gases empty space?
No. Gasses are matter.
