it kind of looks like a bowl with thousands of tiny holes...

A sieve is used to remove lumps from flour, usually, and make it fluffier so it is not so packed when you measure it, which would make you take to much.
A filter is like a sieve because it is used for the same purpose as a sieve. They both are used to separate unwanted material from a mixture.

A number of a sieve means how far apart the holes are as in the wires are closer together so bigger items stay in the sieve and so on

You can use a sieve to find all the primes numbers between 2 and any given number n.

use a sieve
Suppose you have a solution with particles floating in it. You can use a test sieve to measure the size of the particles. The shaker mentioned in the question shakes the sieve in the controlled way so the particles can be measured accurately.
What is the difference between a wet sieve and a dry sieve
It depends on how you do it. If you use a filter - it's filtration; if you use a sieve, it's sieving.
use a sieve? hope this helped

A sieve is used when you are cooking something and you need to get rid of the lumps, such as when you are making a cake, you often sieve the flour before adding it to the mixture so that it is not lumpy. A sieve can also be used when you are cooking something like vegetables and want to get rid of the water you have boiled them in. You would hold the sieve over the sink and then pour the vegetables and water into the sieve and you would be left with just the vegetables because the water would go through the little holes in the sieve and down the sink.
You can sift flour using a sieve.
