viscose (also known as viscose rayon) is a group of fabrics and yarns produced by extruding cellulose solution through holes in a spinneret, then coagulating the resulting filaments in an acid (the viscose process). There are several different sort of viscose fibres made by modifying this process, eg crimped, hollow, high tenacity (stronger). So viscose rayon is a particular type of cellulose fibre made using the viscose process, and it's also often called just 'viscose' or just 'rayon', because it's the commonest kind of rayon. Other kinds of rayon are cuprammonium rayon and acetate rayon.
The abbreviation for rayon is "Viscose".
The common name for rayon is viscose rayon or art silk.

Yes. Technically it usually refers to viscose cellulose nitrate (Rayon).

If you had a length of cotton yarn and a length of viscose (or rayon, is another word for viscose), yarn and you were attempting to differentiate between the two, it is tricky. I would suggest that you wet both strands of yarn, and pull them. The rayon will stretch more and be less strong than the cotton. The rayon will also absorb more water than the cotton yarn.
Rayon is a synthetic fibre.
Bleaching white viscose rayon fabric is not recommended as it can weaken the fibers and cause yellowing or discoloration. If necessary, it is best to consult a professional cleaner for appropriate methods to whiten the fabric without damaging it.
Viscose rayon thread is dyed using a dyeing technique called package dyeing. In this process, the thread is wound onto a perforated tube or package and immersed into a dye bath. The dye bath contains the desired color dye and the thread is submerged and heated to fix the dye onto the fibers. After dyeing, the thread is rinsed and dried before being further processed.
Viscose rayon is a man-made fiber made from wood pulp though other materials may be used. It is basically modified cellulose. Viscose is very similar to cotton and silk. (Cotton is also made of cellulose). Viscose falls somewhere in between a natural fiber and a man-made one. The raw material for viscose is cellulose which is usually reacted with caustic soda and carbon disulfide. It is reformed as fibers by spinning this viscose solution in an acid bath. Viscose rayon has a silky appearance and feel, and also has the ability to breathe in a manner similar to cotton weaves.
