  • Viscosity: Understanding a Liquid's Resistance to Flow
    The resistance of a liquid to flowing is called viscosity.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's internal friction.

    * High viscosity means the liquid is thick and flows slowly (like honey or syrup).

    * Low viscosity means the liquid is thin and flows easily (like water).

    Think of it this way: imagine trying to stir different liquids. Syrup would be difficult to stir because it has a high viscosity, while water would be easy to stir because it has a low viscosity.
