A cylinder has two circular faces.
When the diameter of the cylinder increases, the meniscus curve becomes less pronounced. This is because the larger diameter allows for a greater surface area, reducing the surface tension effects that create the meniscus curve.
The meniscus is the curve at a liquid's surface by which one measures the volume of the liquid. A meniscus can be concave or convex depending on whether it is attracted to itself or the glass.
The meniscus is a curve in the surface of a liquid that is caused by surface tension and by the attraction between the liquid and the sides of the container. The bottom of the meniscus represents the most accurate measurement because the lines of a graduated cylinder are in the middle of the graduated cylinder.
The volume reading on the measuring cylinder will increase due to the addition of the water. The meniscus, or the curve at the surface of the water, will form and the volume measured will be the amount of water that was poured in.
All liquids have a surface tension. This tension creates a meniscus or curve on the surface, most noticeable in small diameter tubes or cylinders. The meniscus of water curves up the sides of the cylinder, while heavy liquids like mercury curves down the cylinder. You should always measure light liquids at the bottom of the meniscus and heavy liquids at the top of the meniscus.

that would be the meniscus
A cylinder
The curve on a graduated cylinder is called a meniscus. It occurs due to surface tension between the liquid and the container, causing the liquid to curve at the edges. When measuring volume in a graduated cylinder, the bottom of the meniscus should be used for accurate readings.

curve
Adhesion is responsible for the surface of the water in a graduated cylinder that is slightly curved at the sides.
Since the surface of water rises up to the sides of the cylinder, the low point is in the center of the surface. (Volume is assumed unless boiling or melting points are stated)
