Hello.
Can you please tell me why we use "between" when we say,"When we talk about universe, we mean the sun, the moon, the stars... and the space between them"?
Thanks in advance. |

Hi wwg139580,
There is empty space between each celestial object. You can't really say "the space among them" because space is considered void or massless (except for dark matter). Since it's void or non-existent, it can't be "among" anything.
