This depends on the country and the specific legislation.
Skim (or fat free) milk is milk with less than 0.5% milk fat.
In some countries, low fat (or semi-skim) milk has milkfat between 0.5 and 1.5%.
In other countries, low fat is between 1.5 and 2.5%.
It contains not less than 26 percent milk fat

There are three types of milk based on fat contents.Whole Milk (3% Milk): This type of milk must contain more than 3% of fats.Reduced-fat milk (2% Milk): Contains only 2% of fats.Low-fat milk (1% Milk): have 1% of fats in it.
x * .62 = 2x = 3.225%
Yes you can, the fat content in milk .04 - 3.5% has little effect on a recipe. One cup of whole milk contains 9 grams or a little less than 2 tsp of fat. 2% milk has about 1 tsp of fat.
Whole milk is milk that contains at least four percent milk fat. It differs from low-fat and skim milk and has a creamier taste and texture.
The percentage is a reference to the fat content of the milk. Whole milk contains usually between 3.25% and 4.0% fat, where as 2% obviously contains 2% fat. Also, in the US 2% milk generally will have more Vitamin A than whole milk. This is because during the fat reduction process, a lot of vitamin A is lost, so it is artificially added back into the milk.
One percent as well as fat-free milk are available, but water is better for you.
Skim milk is more dilute than 2 percent milk because it contains little to no fat, resulting in a lower overall concentration of solids and nutrients. In contrast, 2 percent milk has a higher fat content, which contributes to a creamier texture and a richer flavor. The difference in fat content affects the viscosity and mouthfeel of the milk, making skim milk less dense than its 2 percent counterpart.
Skim Milk contains less fat, they skim off the butter fat, which mack whole milk fattier.
It CAN have, but it doesn't have to. There's skimmed and semi-skimmed, which will have less fat.
Do you mean 2% milk? There is a difference between 2% and whole milk. 2% contains 2% fat, and whole milk contains about 3.5 to 4% milk.
