No
IS limit for silt in sand is 15to 35
Yes, silt is smaller than sand.
Sand particles are much larger than silt particles.
Sand is generally heavier than silt because sand particles are larger and more dense than silt particles. The larger size and higher density of sand particles make them weigh more than silt particles.

Silt has finer sediment compared to sand. Silt particles are smaller than sand particles, making silt feel smooth and silky to the touch.

Sand is more permeable than silt because sand particles are larger with more spaces between them, allowing water to flow more easily through them. Silt particles are smaller and more compact, resulting in lower permeability.
The four main classes of soil are sand, silt, clay, and loam. Sand particles are the largest, silt particles are medium-sized, and clay particles are the smallest. Loam is a mixture of sand, silt, and clay, and is considered the most ideal soil type for plant growth.
Clay is the most dense soil type, followed by silt and then sand. Clay particles are finer and more closely packed, which gives clay a higher density compared to silt and sand.
The mixture of sand, silt, and clay is called loam. Loam soil contains a balanced combination of sand, silt, and clay particles, providing good drainage, moisture retention, and nutrient availability for plants to thrive.
