Gravity.
The gravitational pull of the Earth will exert a force on anything with a mass and pull it towards the centre of the Earth. As we're essentially standing on the surface of a sphere, the centre of the Earth is pretty much straight down and gravity will pull liquids to the bottom of any container.
Both liquids and gases are considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their containers. Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape, whereas gases have neither a definite shape nor volume as they expand to fill the container they are in.
The characteristic of a gas that allows it to be easily squeezed and compacted into smaller containers is known as compressibility. Gases have widely spaced particles and minimal intermolecular forces, which enable them to be compressed into smaller volumes when pressure is applied. This property distinguishes gases from liquids and solids, which have fixed shapes and volumes. As a result, gases can expand to fill the available space in a container.
Gases have much less density compared to solids and liquids due to the larger spaces between gas particles. This makes gases easier to compress and to expand to fill a container.
The state of matter that has no definite volume, no definite shape, and where particles move rapidly is gas. In this state, particles are far apart and move freely, allowing gases to expand and fill their containers. Unlike solids and liquids, gases can be compressed and have low densities.
It is a characteristic of liquids and gases to assume the shapes of their containers while solids maintain their own shapes.
Liquids and gases share the property of changing shape in different containers. Liquids take the shape of their containers due to their ability to flow and conform to the shape of the container. Gases also fill the space of their container, taking its shape as they expand to fill the available volume.
Both solids and liquids have definite volumes. gases on the other hand expand to fill their containers. Hope this helps

The two states of matter that take the shape of their container are gases and liquids. Gases have no fixed shape or volume and will expand to fill any container, while liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container.

Gases will expand to fill their containers.
yes
The two states of matter that are considered fluids are liquids and gases. Both have the ability to flow and change shape to fit their containers.
Properties ofGASES: usually float, they are in bottle or balloons, they are easy to compress, they expand to fill their containers & they occupy far more space than the liquids of solids from which they form.
Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape - they take the shape of their container. Gases have no definite volume and no definite shape - they expand to fill their entire container.
Yes, gases expand or contract to fill the volume and shape of their containers.
Solids and liquids both have fixed volumes... in that if they are put into a container, they will not expand to fill the container. Gases on the other hand, do the exact opposite - they expand to fill their containers, thus not having fixed volumes.
