Viscosity is the state of being thick. For example, Molasses has a higher viscosity than water. Liquids often freeze when the weather becomes cold, so viscosity increases in the cold.

How does temperature effect the viscosity in honey?
Warm honey is less viscous than cold honey.
What happens to a fluids viscosity when it is heated?
the particles move alot faster, but when there cold they start to slow down
How viscosity of liquid depends on temperature?
Viscosity is a liquids resistance to flow. Viscosity decreases as the liquid is heated. Molecular shape of the components making up the liquid can affect viscosity. Small round molecules make little contact and can move more freely making a compound less viscous. The viscosity of a fluid is basically a measure of how sticky it is. Water has a fairly low viscosity; things like shampoo or syrup have higher viscosity. Viscosity also depends on temperature - engine oil, for instance, is much less viscous at high temperatures than it is in a cold engine in the middle of winter.
Is the strength of a magnet affected by hot or cold temperatures?
NO!!
When would you buy low viscosity oil for your car?
if it is really cold where you live, and the viscosity of the oil would be the optimal for your car at that cold outdoor temperature. i.e. as oil cools it is less viscus. Therefore, in colder climates normal oil becomes too thick in the cold weather to run optimally, so if you use less viscus oil you can compensate.
How is viscosity affect by cold?
Viscosity is the state of being thick. For example, Molasses has a higher viscosity than water. Liquids often freeze when the weather becomes cold, so viscosity increases in the cold.
What affects the viscosity of a molten material?
viscosity is affected by heat and water.by adding water viscosity decreases,by heating viscosity increases....
How can you put viscosity in a sentence?
The high viscosity of the cold butter made it hard to spread. Viscosity is the resistance to flow
What property of liquids is affected by the strength of the attraction between the molecules?
Viscosity --The resistance of a liquid to flow is called its viscosity
What is the effect of pressure on viscosity?
As temperature increases viscosity decreases.
Why low viscosity motor oil used in the winter and high viscosity motor oil used in the summer?
Low viscosity oil flows easier when it is cold but become thinner when it is hot.
Do hotter liquids have more or less viscosity than colder liquids?
Cold water has higher viscosity than Hot water, take note that, as the temperature of fluid increases, viscosity decreases.
What determines the viscosity of magama?
temperature, silica content, and the amount of dissolved gases determine the viscosity of magma. For instance, if the magma is cold, has a high amount of silica and has lots of dissolved gases in it the viscosity will be very high.
Why is low viscosity motor oil used in the winter?
It flows better in cold conditions.
Does viscocity increase as temperature increases?
No, viscosity, the property that makes honey, say, flow slower than water, goes up - becomes more thick - as the temperature decreases. A high viscosity liquid like, say, cold molasses, flows very slowly. Its viscosity is high. To make cold molasses flow faster, it is warmed so that its viscosity goes down. (But the 'runniness' increases) This is a hard term . . . think of viscosity as the ability to resist flowing, or to resist cutting with a knife. BUT . . . and what is confusing is that while viscosity goes down, runniness increases, if that helps, any.
How does temperature effect the viscosity in honey?
Warm honey is less viscous than cold honey.
What refers to the tendency of oil to resist flowing?
Oil viscosity depends on it's temperature. The higher the oil temperature is, leads to higher viscosity and low flow resistance. Cold oil temperature leads to lower viscosity and higher flow resistance
