No. There are many substance other than water that are liquid at room temperature. A few example include Mercury, ethanol (beverage alcohol), and acetone. Additionally, some substances such as propane and butane, which are normally gasses, can be stored as liquids under pressure.
In measuring liquids using graduated cylinder, there are two things to consider. 1.) CLEAR LIQUID and 2.) COLORED LIQUID (as we may say) In identifying the volume of CLEAR LIQUID (e.g. plain water, oil, alcohol, etc.), THE LOWER MENISCUS is read. For the COLORED LIQUID (e.g. soy sauce, ketchup, etc. ) the upper meniscus is get, since there is only one meniscus there.. (meaning there is no upper & lower meniscus.)
Mercury is the only metal that remains in a liquid state at room temperature. It is also highly dense and has a high surface tension, allowing it to form distinctive meniscus shapes in containers. However, it is toxic and poses environmental risks if not handled and disposed of properly.
That method only works if the substance being measured is in liquid form. Also, the only property of the substance that can be measured is its volume ... the graduated cylinder cannot measure its mass, temperature, cost, density, etc.

This is called Phase Change.Water is one of the few matters that can become a liquid, solid, and gas. If you freeze water, which is in a liquid state, it changes into a solid state. If you heat the liquid, you see the liquid escaping in the form of bubbles and changing into a gaseous state. These states of matter are only the physical properties. There is no change in its chemical composition. Ice and water vapor continue to be water in different forms or states.
A meniscus it the curve of a liquid when it adheres to the side of its container. Only glassware used for measuring volumes of liquids have a meniscus. The scale.

A meniscus is the curvature of the surface of the water. Water "sticks" to the walls of the graduated cylinder, but only on the sides and not the middle, so you measure water from the meniscus

Vapor condenses to form liquid. Go to the bathroom and turn on the shower but only the hot water. You'll notice that there's steam/water vapor. Look at your mirror and watch as liquid water forms.
Mercury is the only liquid that is commonly measured using the upper meniscus. This is due to its unique properties, such as high density and low surface tension, that cause it to form a convex meniscus rather than a concave one like most other liquids.
The meniscus is created by adhesive forces between the glass and the water. THis means that the water water molecules are attracted to the glass so they can creep up the glass to a small degree. The water molecules are also attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding. These are called cohesive forces and they allows the water that creeps up the glass to bring other water molecules with them. The cohesive forces and adhesive forces can only resist gravity to a certain degree so in the middle the liquid curves downward.
Earth is the only known planet in our solar system to have water in all three forms - solid, liquid, and gas - due to its unique temperatures and atmospheric conditions.
Earth is the only planet in our solar system where water exists naturally in solid, liquid, and gas states. This is due to its unique distance from the sun and its moderate temperatures that allow for such diverse forms of water.
Scientists have found evidence of liquid water on Mars, Europa (a moon of Jupiter), Enceladus (a moon of Saturn), and possibly Ganymede (another moon of Jupiter). These are the known bodies in our solar system with liquid water.
Earth lies in the Godlilocks region of our Sun. The perfect conditions for water to exist in 3 forms: Ice, Liquid and Water vapour.
water is the only object that can be a liquid(water),solid(ice)and gas(vapor).
