compared to gasses, liquids are not easily compressed since the atoms are much closer together (denser) than that of a gas. Compared to a solid, liquids are much more flexible and easily conform to the inside of a hose (brake hose)

They include liquids and gases. Liquids are a type of fluid that flows and takes the shape of its container but does not expand to fill its container. (Gases do that.) Liquid is the second state of matter, between solid and gas.Liquids do not expand, gases do. The main point is that gases and liquids are both fluids.both liquids and gases are called fluids

Difference between fluids and liquids?

Fluids are substances that can flow and have the ability to take on the shape of their container, encompassing liquids, gases, and plasma. Liquids specifically refer to substances that have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container. In essence, all liquids are fluids, but not all fluids are liquids.
