A fluid is any substance that can flow. Liquids are just one type of substance that can flow. Gases are the other type.

∙ 12y agoA fluid is just about any substance that will flow, so some gases, if not most, could be considered fluids as well.

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.
Liquids and gases flow easily this is called?
fluids
What is the special liquids that is add it to the sperm cells to make semen?
The special liquids is seminal fluids.
Why liquidgas or plasma considered fluids?
Fluids are substances that flow. Liquids flow, gases flow, and ionized gases (plasmas) flow. Thus, they are all fluids.
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.
What is the difference between fluids and solids?
fluids move and are liquids, soldids are hard and and is like a dresser or something
What is the difference between a fluid and a liquid?
Fluids versus liquidsAll liquids are fluids but not all fluids are liquids. The scientist (or engineer) will make that distinction but the non-scientist frequently doesn't. Fluids flow. They include liquids and gases. Liquids are a type of fluid that flows and takes the shape of its container but does not expand to fill its container. (Gases do that.) Liquid is the second state of matter, between solid and gas.Liquids do not expand, gases do. The main point is that gases and liquids are both fluids.both liquids and gases are called fluids
What is the difference between hydraulics and pnuematics?
Hydraulics are powered by liquids under pressure and pnuematics are powered by gasses, usually air, under pressure. Both liquids and gasses are fluids.
What is the difference between water and fluid?
water is a liquid. Generally Liquids and Fluids are classified. Liquids are that state of matter which have loosely arranged molecules and they are highly flowy. Fluids are that state of matter which are a little more thick than liquids that is more viscous. for example, water is a liquid and Honey a fluid.
What is the difference between upthrust and buoyancy?
Upthrust and Buoyancy is the same thing there's no difference but upthrust is usually used for liquids or fluids lets say but buoyancy is used for air .
What is the difference about the intermolecular forces of attraction between the phases that allows fluids and gases to flow but prevent solids from flowing?
In gases and liquids intermolecular forces are weak.
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 :)
What is difference between aqua and fluids?
BYE
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
