capillary action is a common consequence of surface tension.
The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
Surface tension is the force that acts on particles at a liquid's surface. It is caused by the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules, which creates a barrier that resists the penetration of external objects or forces. This force is responsible for phenomena such as capillary action and the formation of droplets.
because of the gravity
Surface tension is a property of liquids that causes the molecules at the surface to stick together, forming a "skin" on the surface. This creates a barrier that resists external forces, such as gravity or objects placed on the surface. Surface tension affects the behavior of liquids by allowing them to form droplets, support objects on their surface, and exhibit capillary action, where liquids can move against gravity in narrow spaces.

Adhesion due to the polarity of the water molecule.
surface tension is a product of cohesive forces (eg. water to water forces in a bubble) whereas capillary actionis a product of adhesive forces (eg. water climbing up a thin glass tube)
The surface tension of a liquid can be determined using the capillary rise method by measuring the height to which the liquid rises in a capillary tube. According to the formula ( \gamma = \frac{h \cdot \rho \cdot g \cdot r}{2} ), where ( \gamma ) is the surface tension, ( h ) is the height of the liquid column, ( \rho ) is the density of the liquid, ( g ) is the acceleration due to gravity, and ( r ) is the radius of the capillary tube. By accurately measuring these parameters, the surface tension can be calculated. This method relies on the balance between the adhesive forces between the liquid and the tube and the cohesive forces within the liquid.
Surface tension is found in liquids and it is the result of the cohesive forces between the molecules at the surface of the liquid. This creates a "skin" on the surface of the liquid that resists external forces.
The capillary effect in water is the tendency for water to travel up a surface such as a tube. It does this because water molecules are attracted to each other which also causes the phenomenon called surface tension.
Surface tension is measured by determining the force required to break the surface of a liquid. Common methods for measuring surface tension include the drop weight method, the capillary rise method, and the maximum bubble pressure method.
