What is an example of viscostiy?

Imagine pouring honey and water from the same height. The honey will flow much slower than the water. This is because honey has a higher viscosity than water.

Here's a breakdown:

* Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow.

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

* Low viscosity means the fluid is thin and flows easily (like water, alcohol, or air).

Other examples:

* Motor oil has a higher viscosity than gasoline, which is why it flows slower and provides better lubrication in an engine.

* Ketchup has a higher viscosity than tomato juice, which is why it's harder to pour out of the bottle.

* Lava has a very high viscosity, which is why it flows slowly and can build up into large volcanic cones.

In short, viscosity is a measure of how "thick" a fluid is.
