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.
When a liquid is poured into a graduated cylinder, its surface forms a meniscus due to the interplay of cohesive and adhesive forces. The liquid tends to cling to the walls of the cylinder, causing the surface to curve upward at the edges. This curvature can be concave or convex, depending on the liquid and the cylinder material, but for most liquids like water, it is usually concave. The height of the liquid at the meniscus is used for accurate measurements.
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.
A cylinder has one closed "cylindrical" (circular) surface and two circles at each end. ======================

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)
