👉 Fluid, often referring to liquids or gases, exhibits several distinctive characteristics. It has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container, meaning it fills any space it is placed in without losing its identity. Unlike solids, fluids flow easily and can move from areas of higher pressure to lower pressure. They also have no fixed shape, allowing them to adapt to the form of their container, and they exhibit surface tension, which enables them to form droplets and climb surfaces. Additionally, fluids are compressible, meaning their volume can change under pressure, though this property is much less pronounced in liquids compared to gases. These properties make fluids versatile and essential in various natural and industrial processes.
