This is because the liquid molecules are already very close to each other. There is not much space between them which allows liquids to be compressed.
Liquids are more diffcult to compress than gases because gas molecules are widely inter-spaced with weak forces of attraction, whereas liquid molecules are closely packed with trong forces of attraction and only move around in their fixed locations.
compress it nearly impossiable to COMPRESS solids and liquids
The compressibility of liquids is low enough that considering them to be incompressible is usually a safe assumption.
No, you can't compress liquids easily. You can compress them a little bit, but thats all.
Compress. They tend to occupy a nearly fixed volume.
That is when a cylinder fills with liquid and will not move. Liquids will not compress like air so it will stop the piston and usually damage the engine

yes
Liquids are difficult to compress because of their molecules. Since their molecules are already tightly packed together, they cannot be compressed much more. Doing so can only slightly alter their volume.
Solids and liquids are difficult compress. Gases, however, are easy; they respond to changes in temperature and volume.

Fluids can be either liquids or gases. Gas is easy to compress and expands to fill its container while liquid is hard to compress.
