What is space?

Answer 1

Depends on which context u're talking in?

If it's space like in Nasa space travel , it can be find as follows
"Space refers collectively to the relatively empty parts of the universe. Any area outside the atmospheres of any celestial body can be considered 'space'. Although space is certainly spacious, it is not always empty, but can be filled with matter — say a tenuous plasma. "

Answer 2

What is space?
In space, no one can hear you scream. This is because there is no air in space – it is a vacuum. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.

'Outer space' begins about 200 km above the Earth, where the shell of air around our planet disappears. With no air to scatter sunlight and produce a blue sky, space appears as a black blanket dotted with stars.
Space is usually regarded as being completely empty. But this is not true. The vast gaps between the stars and planets are filled with huge amounts of thinly spread gas and dust. Even the emptiest parts of space contain at least a few hundred atoms or molecules per cubic metre.
Space is also filled with many forms of radiation that are dangerous to astronauts. Much of this infrared and ultraviolet radiation comes from the Sun. High energy X-rays, gamma rays and cosmic rays – particles travelling close to the speed of light – arrive from distant star systems.

Answer 3

Science considers space to be a fundamental quantity i.e. a quantity which can not be defined via other quantities because other quantities - like force and energy - are already defined via space.

Space can have many definitions...
some i can list are.. :

-One view of space is that it is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, something in which objects are separated and located, and have size and shape, and through which they can move.

-In maths, space is a set, with some particular properties and usually some additional structure. It is not a formally defined concept as such, but a generic name for a number of similar concepts, most of which generalize some abstract properties of the physical concept of space.

-In astronomy, space refers collectively to the relatively empty parts of the universe.

-In geography space is called land.

Answer 4

Space is the void which is broken by the presence of objects. What lies between atoms, what lies inside the atom, is mostly space. All the stars and galaxies are inside the space which is a property of the universe.

Answer 5

My definition of space would be the perceived distance observed between two perceived objects out of the inability to perceive all objects.

As you read this response I would like you to observe your perceived distance between your computer screen, and yourself, and think carefully for a moment.

Initially you will think that there is nothing between you and your computer screen, thus free space.

Now take a deep breath, what you just breathed in is called oxygen, and it is colorless, odorless, and invisible, and it not only exists, but it is real and tangible, and without it you would not exist.

although with out thinking about oxygen existing between you, and your computer, and with regard to basic thought, you would not even think of it being present because you do not see it, and most people would say that there is nothing between them, and there computer screen.

Thus the only distance perceived by them, is what appears to them as free space between the distance between themselves, and there computer screen, even though there is something real and tangible existing between themselves and there computer screen which is keeping them alive.

like the computer screen in front of you, and in which you comprehend what appears to you as free space, as it seems that there is nothing between you, and your computer, but now with regard to oxygen which is invisible to you, because you are not capable of seeing it, but in fact you see right through it, well between those oxygen molecules, there is also space, and between that space there are atoms, and between those atoms there is also space.

Everything with in our universe is Energy, including all invisible things which like oxygen are invisible to us, and also like oxygen keep us alive.

It is only our inability to perceive those very small objects then which gives us the ability to appreciate what appears to be the distance between us, and the objects which we do perceive.

If you perceived all objects which are energy, then you would not be capable of observing distance between yourself, and the objects which you are now capable of perceiving, so your eye sight would not function at all, although you would still be capable of moving through the fine matter energy.

Space = is very fine matter energy which we cannot perceive, is difficult for most people to comprehend, and very misunderstood.

Deep space is also matter energy.

Hope this helped you, if not, read it a few times until you grasp it.
