👉 Fluid, often referring to liquids or gases, is a state of matter characterized by its ability to flow and take the shape of its container. This property, known as fluidity, allows fluids to move from areas of higher pressure to lower pressure and to fill any gaps or spaces within a container. Unlike solids, which maintain a fixed shape and volume, fluids adapt their form to conform to the container's boundaries. Examples of fluids include water, oil, and air. The behavior of fluids is governed by principles like viscosity, surface tension, and the effects of gravity, which influence how they move and interact with their environment.
