compared to gasses, liquids are not easily compressed since the atoms are much closer together (denser) than that of a gas. Compared to a solid, liquids are much more flexible and easily conform to the inside of a hose (brake hose)

Is there a difference between fluids and liquids?
Fluids refer to both liquids and gases; liquids are just liquids. That is, Fluids = Liquid OR Gas Liquid = Liquid We can see that liquids are actually a fluid.
How are air and water both fluids?
The word "fluid" means "something that is capable of flowing". Both gases and liquids are fluids in this sense, though it's more common in casual use to use the term strictly for liquids.
Are gases and liquids fluids?
A fluid is any substance that can flow. Since liquids and both flow, they are fluids.
What are said to be pourable?
Liquid ********************* Fluids. Fluids include liquids and gases.
Are gasses and liquids fluids?
yes
Why liquids are not fluids?
liquids are not fluids because a fluid is a class based on motion not a class based on a state of matter like a liquid.
Only liquids can be classified as fluids?
No. A fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress. All gases are fluids, but not all liquids are fluids. Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas and, to some extent, plastic solids.
What does convection occurs in?
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
Why are both liquids and solids called fluids?
Fluids are neither solids nor liquids. Fluids are a form between solids and liquids. Fluids donot exhibit a fixed shape like solids do and also are not free flowing as liquids are. Fluids, while maintaining their total volume can flow freely upto a certain extent. Though not very accurate, a fluid behaves some what like ketchup :)
Is it true that liquids and gases are fluids?
Yes.
Why aren't all liquids considered fluid?
All liquids are not fluids because fluids are those ones which can flow easily and smoothely but honey is an e.g. of liquids which cant flow and hence is not a fluid.
Are airwater and steam all fluids?
The word "fluid" means "something that is capable of flowing". Both gases and liquids are fluids in this sense, though it's more common in casual use to use the term strictly for liquids.
