They move by the flow, by gravity, etc. Because they are not alive, they cannot move against the flow. For example, if they're in the blood vessels, they go the direction of the flow around the body until they attach themselves to a cell with a specific binding site, or until they are decomposed.

Are viruses motile in any way?
Viruses are not considered motile in the traditional sense because they lack the necessary cellular machinery to move on their own. Instead, they rely on external forces such as air currents, liquid flow, or host cell movement to travel from one place to another. Once inside a host cell, viruses can hijack the cell's machinery to replicate and spread to other cells.

Viruses are immobile. They can not move on their own, and rely on their hosts biological systems to move them around.
Do viruses move independently or dependently?
Some viruses can move parts of their body, but most viruses rely on their hosts.
Do viruses move around?
They move by the flow, by gravity, etc. Because they are not alive, they cannot move against the flow. For example, if they're in the blood vessels, they go the direction of the flow around the body until they attach themselves to a cell with a specific binding site, or until they are decomposed.

Size range of viruses?
Viruses can vary greatly in size, with the smallest ones being around 20-30 nanometers (nm) in diameter, such as the Parvoviruses. Larger viruses like Mimivirus can reach sizes of around 400 nm. However, most viruses fall within the range of 20-300 nm in size.
