Vacuum does not only infer an area devoid of matter… it’s also considered a vacuum if it has substantially lower pressure than earth’s atmosphere at sea level.

Hold up. Isn’t space under a lot of pressure to expand, only it’s directed outwards, so we ain’t just feeling it?

No, we don’t yet know why space is expanding. But space has way way waaaaay lower pressure than the earth atmosphere since it’s almost empty. It even keeps sucking away bits of our atmosphere.

You’re telling me nibbling bits of our atmosphere isn’t a form of pressure exerted towards it?
