Why are you asking this on R&S?

Well, first you have to define space. Take "d" in the simple physical formula v=d/t
v for velocity
d for distance
t for time
In order to have a distance you must have space, so space is made of distance and time.
In our universe there is 3 dimentions of space and 1 of time (4 dimentions total) but other universes are constituted of more dimentions.
If we lived in a flat universe we would be able to travell in many flat geometrical forms. If that universe was made in the shape of a cylender, we would still have no notion od up and down, we would travell all around it and wonder how come some directions leads us back to where we started!!!
In a universe with 2 dimentions of time we would be able to travell in two different directions at the same time! The physics and mathemathics of that universe would be totally diferent from ours however, the variables are not appliable to our universe. Also our conciousness could be different in order to BE in two places at the same time...
So you see, in a nutshell space is "made" of distance and time!

some quantum physicists believe that small loops called superstrings are the most fundalemtal part of the universe - at the Planck scale (10^-33 cm) space becomes smooth and is more like a "fabric", although this fabric is described as a wave of possibility --- it's been a while since i've read about quantum physics and my answer might not be entirely accurate

Empty space is made of nothing. Its just an area where no matter exists.

Depending on what you interprete 'empty space' as, it could mean the air molecules all around you, light waves & subatomic particles, 'dark matter', anti-matter, or even simply the purified mind which is free from all these things; the 'void'...

Nothing. It's empty. Although there's really no 'true' vacuum - there's usually an atom or two around SOMEWHERE, within a meter or so. But between them? Nothing.

that depends on what empty means to you
empty REALLY empty ...is a vacuum with no light, or radiation passing through it

Empty area is empty. imagine a cardboard field the same length as a football stadium - there may in effortless words be a unmarried particle of count in a quantity of area that length. The solar isn't a uniform body, so it relies upon the position you stuck your hand in. precise on the exterior its merely rather warm hydrogen gas it extremely is trapped in position by technique of gravity (inwards) and stress from different debris deeper contained in the solar (stress). in case you had a handful of solar on the earth it may merely advance and drift away. it may also be invisible, as in effortless words the midsection of the solar produces potential that we see as mild.

empty space is made out of really really tiny things that are really, really, really, really, far, apart.

God.
If god is anything, the utter vacuum of space (with a slightly repellant force) sounds as good description as anything.
