How much space does the surface of the ocean take up? Not the body of the ocean, just its surface.

Light exists in a field that permeates space meaning that it is everywhere. The field is much like the surface of an ocean where It can have high and low points but being just like a surface, it doesn’t take up any space. You can also think of it as being in a different dimension if your kid is into sci-fi.
