We all use ourselves here on earth to think that space is out there, from outside ourselves to beyond the stars, but space is not only out there it is inside everything physical (do not think of it like water, which we and objects displace). If we look at an atom, the protons or electrons, space is even inside those things. An electron is about 1/10,000,000,000,000,000 meters in diameter (give or take a zero or so), but the resolution of space is about 1/10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (35 zeros) meters (called the Planck length) so that space permeates everything. For example, if an individual could be shrunk down to the size of the Planck length, then an electron would be farther than the sun is from us, except we would be at the middle. In quantum mechanics, all matter is only a probability of existing in space at a certain moment in time.. Except for black holes and distances shorter than the Planck length, everything is supported by the framework of space.

Space is whatever "contains" matter in motion. The earth is a spaceship in space. You are in space. I am in space. Everything that exists in in space...stars, moon, sun, planets, asteroids, trees, rivers, mountains,...everything.

Space is anywhere that matter is not occupying. That includes gas, such as oxygen, nytrogen, etc. that make up the atmosphere.

NASA calls it 400,000 feet or 80 miles up

It is all around you.
You feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes...
