Sand particles are much larger than silt particles.
Clay particles are the smallest, followed by silt particles which are larger, and sand particles are the largest. Clay particles are less than 0.002 mm in size, silt particles range from 0.002 to 0.05 mm, and sand particles range from 0.05 to 2 mm in size.
IS limit for silt in sand is 15to 35
Yes, silt is smaller than sand.
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.

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.
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.
