three-dimensional space

Where objects exist

Three-dimensional space is the physical world as we experience it—having height, width, and depth.

Objects exist in three-dimensional space; flat images exist in two.

In mathematics and physics, it's the coordinate system with three perpendicular axes (x, y, z).

The sculpture occupied three-dimensional space in ways a painting never could.
