It doesn't. The grain size effects the texture. If a rock has a small grain size, it will have a smooth texture. If the grain size is large, such as pebbles, the texture will be rough. For example, siltstone is one of the smoothest rocks because it contains silt particles, which are .0004cm to .006cm. Conglomerate though contains various particles including cobbles and boulders, which are from 10cm to 100cm.

What does rock texture include?
Grain size and arrangement.
Which feature of sedimentary rock is measured by the Wentworth scale of grain size?
Texture
What feature of sedimentary rock is measured by the Wentworth scale of grain size?
texture
How composition and texture are used to classify rock?
mineral composition is the minerals that the rocks are made of texture refers to the grain size (sediments or interlocking crystals) of the different components of that rock
Why do rocks differ in color and texture?
Rocks can be made of assemblages of different minerals whose crystals may be of varying size. This variation in composition and grain size results in a plethora of rock types of different density, color, texture and fabric.
What does rock texture include?
Grain size and arrangement.
What else does rock texture include besides grain size and arrangement?
Grain shape.
What are the size shape and positions of the grain that makes up a rock?
These characteristics determine a rock's texture.

What size of rock texture refers to igneous rock?
The size of the mineral crystals in an igneous rock determines the rock's texture.
The quality of a rock based on size and shape?
The quality of a rock that is based on the shape and size is its texture.
Are all rocks have the same texture and grain size?
no
