Adhesion is responsible for the surface of the water in a graduated cylinder that is slightly curved at the sides.
Water in a glass graduated cylinder adheres to the sides of the cylinder, forming a meniscus which is an upward curve. When reading volume in a cylinder, look at the meniscus at eye level. Read the volume at the bottom of the curve.
It's called a meniscus
Water in a graduated cylinder forms a meniscus due to the capillary action, which is the result of the water molecules being attracted to the walls of the cylinder. This causes the water's surface to curve slightly upward or downward at the edges, creating the meniscus shape.

The water curves in a graduated cylinder due to a phenomenon called capillary action, which is influenced by the adhesive forces between the water molecules and the glass of the cylinder. Water molecules are attracted to the glass, causing the surface of the water to rise along the edges, creating a meniscus. This curvature is typically concave for water in glass containers. The shape of the meniscus is also affected by the balance between cohesive forces among water molecules and adhesive forces between the water and the cylinder.
it is probably called figure it out, it is curved because glass is sticky. When you measure the volume from a graduated cylinder, measure at the bottom of it. It is called the meniscus.
