This is ultimate question! Sincerely I do not know the answer. I always wanted to know the answer. Now comes a pure guess work. Most of the solids can be compressed in day to life. Because there is gap between the molecules. Some solids are really solid and they can not be compressed. For example the gold. But usually such solids are usually formed from liquids getting cold and turning into solids. Gas can be easily compressed to great extent. But then there is limit to it. I believe than if you compress gas with too much pressure, it should turn into liquid. For example oxygen or nitrogen. But still the golden question remain unanswered. Why the liquid is hard to compress? So there has to be special type of bonding in the liquid. Here the molecules are attached to each other, so that a particular and only particular distance is maintained at any given temperature. If you increase the temperature, distance increases between the molecules. Only the notable exception that strike to my mind here is water molecules. Water molecules contract till 4 degree Celsius. Then start expanding till zero temperature is achieved. (Every body knows the implications of this anomaly on the life at polar regions. Life can sustain below the ice due to this anomaly and due to bad conduction of heat by the ice.) So there is special type of bond between liquid molecules. Which allows the fluid to to take any shape. This bond can be broken very easily. It also allows dissolution of many substances in the liquid. That means there is gap between the molecules of the liquid. Now your intelligence stops there and there only. (I personally has no doubt that the designer has designed the anomaly of water to make the life sustain at polar region.The same designer has designed the laws of nature.)
A gas can be compressed more than a liquid and a solid.
Yes, when a gas is compressed it could form into a solid or liquid substance.
Air, like all gases, is able to be compressed, provided it is kept in a container. Such as a car tyre. Compressed enough, and at a suitable temperature, it will become a liquid.
The differences between a solid, liquid and gas are simple! A solid is an object that has a set volume, and is hard to compress. A liquid will take the shape of its container, but is hard to compress. A gas will take the shape of its container, and is easy to compress.
It has to do with the density of the molecles that make up the liquid. Water can not be compressed due to the hydrogen and oxygen molcules being so densly formed. There is also what is called heavy water that is where the compound has an extra oxygen atom.(H2O2)
It can.
A gas can be compressed more than a liquid and a solid.
Because it is compressed down but not hard enough for it to be solid. As well as if it were a runny liquid when the plated moved the world would be doomed.
Many gasses will turn to liquid when compressed, as in Propane, when compressed becomes liquid propane gas LPG
gas can be compressed easier.

True. Jelly is a kind of a Liquid as it was originated from a kind of Liquid. But, Liquids can't be compressed. The understanding of why it can be compressed is that Jelly has a particular or definite appearance and measurement. so, it is acknowledged in the Solid-state. And, Solids can be compressed if you have sufficient pressure on it.
solids cannot be compressed at all, if you compress a liquid enough it will become a solid by freezing, gasses can be compressed however if compressed enough it will become a liquid
No - compressed liquid is at a pressure above the boiling point pressure of the liquid. A saturated liquid is right at that boiling point. If you try to drop the pressure on a saturated liquid, it will begin to boil. If you start dropping the pressue on a compressed liquid, it will remail a stable liquid unit you have dropped it to the saturation pressure.
no it's a gas, compressed to around 1% of normal volume. If it was compressed to the liquid state, you'd call it liquified natural gas (LNG).
