Both liquid and solid fertilizers can be very effective when used correctly.
Fertilizer efficacy is more related to formulation, timing of application, and soil type than solid vs. liquid. Some solid formulations can be made more available to the crop than their liquid counterparts. Within US commercial agriculture, the difference between solid vs. liquid (all other factors being equal) is generally considered negligible. Liquid and solid both play a valuable part. For example, if a corn crop doesn't get enough nitrogen applied before the crop is planted, the farmer can attempt to apply a "rescue" application of liquid nitrogen to the growing crop. However, these treatments are normally much less effective for the cost per acre than if he had applied enough to begin with.
The solubility of solid fertilizers varies depending on their chemical composition; for example, ammonium nitrate is highly soluble in water, while others like calcium carbonate are less soluble. Liquid fertilizers are generally designed to be soluble and readily available for plant uptake, often containing nutrients in a dissolved form. Both types of fertilizers must be applied according to their solubility to ensure effective nutrient delivery to plants without causing harm to the soil or environment.
It has less because you add a solid and liquid together and you get less.
solid with hydrogen bonds making it less dense than its liquid form
Ice is a solid less dense than the liquid
A liquid becomes a solid when there is less heat. When a liquid loses heat, its particles slow down and come closer together, eventually forming a solid structure.
Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.

The movement of a molecule's particles in a solid move much less and are more structured than a liquid, and a liquid's particles move less than a gas.The movement of a molecule's particles of solid move much less and are more rigid than liquid, and liquid more so than a gas.
