Viscosity is a measure of the thickness or how runny a liquid is. More viscous means thicker and syrup-like. Less viscous means more runny and more like water.

Why is it harder to move through a vicous liquid?

Moving through a viscous liquid is harder because the liquid has higher resistance to flow due to its thickness and stickiness. This resistance causes a drag force that opposes the movement of objects through the liquid, requiring more force or energy to overcome.
