Address space is the range of memory addresses that a processor can access. It is the total amount of memory a processor can address and is measured in bytes. Each program running on a computer has its own address space, which is the range of memory addresses it is allowed to access. When a program attempts to access memory outside its address space, an exception is triggered and the program is terminated.
