The meniscus looks curved because the liquid molecules cling to the sides of the container at the edges, but in the middle the surface "droops" because the molecules are not supported by the sides of the container.
The curve at the top of a liquid is the meniscus
The curve is referred to as the meniscus.
The meniscus is the curve at a liquid's surface by which one measures the volume of the liquid. A meniscus can be concave or convex depending on whether it is attracted to itself or the glass.
A meniscus, but whether it has a positive curve or a negative one depends on whether it wets the glass.
The liquid curve is called a meniscus.

To properly read the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder, look at the bottom of the meniscus at eye level. Make sure the surface of the liquid forms a curve due to surface tension. Read the volume at the bottom of the curve for an accurate measurement.
