Meniscus
The "bottom of a curved line" made by the liquid in a graduated cylinder could be called the "measuring line" or "reference line" in the application of that piece of labratory equipment. The curved surface of the liquid itself is called the meniscus, and we look to the bottom of the meniscus to make our reading as to the volume of the liquid in the graduated cylinder. The liquid in the cylinder "grabs" the sides of the cylinder and "pulls itself up" just a bit, and that creates the curve in the surface of the liquid. And that curve, the meniscus (which is from the Greek word for crescent), leaves us with a problem: where do we "read" the volume marked off by the graduations along the side of the cylinder? And the answer is, "At the bottom of the meniscus."
The fill line of a graduated cylinder is known as the meniscus. It is the curved surface of a liquid in the cylinder caused by the surface tension between the liquid and the glass. Scientists must take measurements at the bottom of the meniscus for accuracy.
The curved line that a liquid creates in a graduated cylinder is called the meniscus. This curvature occurs due to surface tension and the adhesive forces between the liquid and the walls of the cylinder. In most cases, the meniscus is concave, meaning it dips downward at the edges, and it is important to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus for accuracy.
It is called a parallel, or a line of latitude.

A graduated cylinder, measuring cup, or beaker can be used to measure liquid volume accurately. It is important to use the correct measuring tool and ensure the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) is at the correct measurement line for accuracy.
A face, of a solid object, is a flat surface. If it is curved it is called a curved surface though sometimes it is also referred to as a face. Two faces meet at an edge, which is a line which may be straight or curved. Three or more faces meet at a point which is a vertex.
A kind of line which is not required to be straight. Curved lines are often called irregular lines.
A curved line is a line that is curved.
This line is called the meniscus.
The curved line over a short vowel is called a breve. It is used to indicate a short pronunciation of the vowel.
