I’m having a hard time understanding this. From what I have read, a vacuum is a space that is devoid of matter. But there is matter in Space (planets, chemical compounds, stars, etc.). There is something I’m missing here and I’m not understanding
In: Physics
The planets, stars etc. exert a gravitational pull and “grab” all the matter near them, so there is next to nothing in between the object and that next to nothing is the near vacuum of space.
