A meniscus by definition isn't flat, but it has a curve instead, and the bottom of the curve is the actual volume of the liquid in the container.

How do you use a meniscus properly?

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.

What is the curvature that forms when water molecules stick to side of graduated cylinder at liquid air interface?

The curvature that forms when water molecules stick to the side of a graduated cylinder at the liquid-air interface is known as the meniscus. This curvature occurs due to surface tension and adhesive forces between the water molecules and the glass surface, causing the water level to either rise (concave meniscus) or fall (convex meniscus) compared to a flat surface.
