Answer: Gas and dust

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The material responsible for filling the space between the stars is known as interstellar medium.
  • These regions consist of gas and dust and have very low density.
  • The interstellar gas consists of hydrogen and helium.
  • The dust particles have an irregular shape, and are made of carbon,silicates, ice, and iron compounds.
  • The dust particles are extremely small, their size is in microns.

Thus, the interstellar medium is not a complete vacuum but consists of gas and dust.
