Just wondering if anyone know or an idiot would answer. 
Space has air? Or not? <3 Answer on posts.
Once it reaches 10 posts with answers. I'll edit this post to reveal true answer.
Good job guys. Unfortunately, some of you answered wrong. Space do not have any atoms or substances at all. Oxygen are stored in Ship's venting system which is safe to breath. If you're out of ship without space suit. You're dead because of coldness and airless.

space, being a lack of anything, or being emptiness, has no air.
You could argue that space contains the earth and earth has an atmosphere packed with air, you could argue that there are oxygen nebulae out there just dense enough to be called air, but ultimately the answer is no, space has no air the majority of space is pure vaccuum.
Don't bother waiting for 9 more posts...
The End.

Not true Space in fact has substance in it, from particles to atoms space has everything. Earth and all planets starts disrupt this by creating "pockets" in space.
Imagine a flat plane that is made of fabric, this fabric is what we call space. Now you drop some balls on that fabric, and you create these wells. These wells are what we call gravity, pockets of distorted space. Our pocket is rolling around the well created by the sun, and our moon is rolling around the pocket created by us. But enough of that analogy, I am getting off track as I could go on for pages and pages about things like this.
Earth has air, atmosphere, then why dose it eventually dissipate into space? Because the space is being pushed by our gravity. In fact gravity doesn't pull you down into your seat, it pushes you instead. If you think about that for a second it will make sense. Since water has higher pressure the deeper you go, Air works the same way. Theres more air pressure here then there is at the edge of our atmosphere.
So to answer your question. Yes, space dose contain Air, at 0 pressure. It also contains everything else and things we don't even know about yet. Space is not a vacuum as most people think, space is filled with lots of things and as I said, even things we don't know about.

Space. It is an ocean. Apparently.

What starcommand said, there are many things in space, and what is it that you define as "Air"? Is "Air" Oxygen; is it a gas, or is what we find safe to breath. Considering that Hydrogen is a gas and it is estimated to make up roughly 74% of all baryonic matter (proton, neutron and electron; ordinary matter) in the universe respectively. So, if you call any gas, "Air", then yes, there is "Air" in space, along with the rest of the universe.
And then there is much more stuff in space of which we have not discovered yet.
You could also describe "Air" as an breathable atmosphere. Incase if you use that description, going back to what starcommand said, then no there is no "Air" in space; but there IS atoms of gases, just not concentrated or in enough abundance to sustain life.

I assume we're talking about deep space here, although nebulae and gas clouds are barely any more populated.
Space could be argued to have "air", in the sense that there are particles floating around out there in what is technically gaseous form.
Except that they're so, so very few and far between that they're basically single lonely particles flying through space.
There's no real boundary between atmosphere and space except for an arbitrary decision on how dense space needs to be to become atmosphere, since atmospheres just gradually become less and less dense until you decide that it's not atmosphere any more.
I'm also anticipating some kind of smart-arse response that proves all of the obvious answers like "there is no air in space" wrong through some kind of torturously twisted logic.

This line contains 24 spaces in it. Space is nothing but a special character like *&^$%@@$$@!#!@#!#. So why the space would have air in it.

"Space" has an "a" from "air", so it has 30% of "air", or is 20% from "air".
"It" also has 30% of "air", although is technically 50% from "air" using this same argument. So the answer to this would be that "space" does not contain "air", yet does contain some of "air".
As others state, it actually depends on the particular definitions of "space" and "air" you wish to use.

This is, funnily enough, an incredibly big part of formal debating: If you fail to define something, your opponents get to do it instead.

You're neglecting alot of information. What do you mena by "space"? Do you mean physical space - as in the space-time-continuum? Do you mean Mathematical space as in koordinate spaces? Do you mean space as in the spacebar character?
We could also argue what you mean by "air?" If by air you mean the air on our planet, or if you define "air" as just being a mixture of diferent gasses or just gas in general?
There's too little information to really be able to answer your question without making any assumptions.

it has no air... but space is absolutely stuffed. every point in space, there are what scientists call virtual particles, these appear as normal and antimatter, and in the smallest amount of time they destroy eachother. u cant detect them directly, but if u get two metal plates close to eachother, and the virtual particles couldnt come into existance between them, then u have something like a gigantic pressure that pushes them together. space isnt empty, but it doesnt have O2.
but space is dense enough with hydrogen, so u can send a spaceship fast enough and collect enough of it to sustain fusion. but otherwise there is no air.

This thread is screaming for a trollface. And as a few said, it doesn't matter that space does have particles within it- the point is that the ratio of "nothing" to "something" is tremendously in favor of the former. Though if you wanted to be really annoying, you could make the argument that something is also mostly nothing. Curse you, atomic bloat.

This game then should be played on "mute"... except you can hear sounds when a weapon hits your ship causing it to rattle/explode.
