A solution is a mixture of a solute and a solvent. A common solvent is water and an example of a solute is salt (sodium chloride). Adding salt to water results in a salt solution, sometimes called a saline solution.

A solution will be in one phase, normally a liquid but solutions can be found as gasses and as solids. Note that a mixture of two substances that do not form a single homogeneous substance is not a solution. Sand and water don't make a solution and a mixture of dry sugar and salt also don't make a solution.
