Why is the fabric of space bendable but also not visible by eye.

I was looking at how our solar system works and see that essentially the curvature from space and gravity or, lack of creates the movement of our planetary systems. I couldn’t seem to make sense of the details of how space is similar to a fabric and can be shaped in some way.

The example used was the age old blanket with a bowling ball in the center creating a wide curvature leading to the edges of the blanket.

How is this possible but can’t be seen, nor does it cause friction?

You can’t see spacetime. What you see is it’s effect on other objects. Think of wind. You can’t see the actual wind but you can see leaves and trees being blown by it , and you can feel it.
