No. Sometimes it may exhibit fluid-like qualities, to a limited extent, but it is certainly not a fluid.
A fluid, by definition, is a substance that constantly deform under shear stress, until it eventually takes the shape of any volume containing it.
Picture a pile of sand. It consists of many sand particles (in essence, finely crushed rock) held in place by other sand particles lower down in the pile. While gravity does make some of the sand "flow" down the hill, eventually this movement stops and you're left with a pile.
Now try and picture a pile of water. See the difference?
What else can I help you with?
Is liquidized sand a solid or a liquid?
Liquidized sand would still be considered a solid because the individual sand particles retain their solid characteristics, despite being in a liquid-like state. The sand particles are just dispersed in a liquid medium, giving the appearance of a liquid.

Can you change sand into a liquid?
if you heat up sand to a high enough temperature it would become liquid
Why might you think that sand is a liquid?
You would only think that if you were talking about large amounts of sand on grain of sand is not a liquid however a-ton of sand doesn't hold any defined shape. Liquids don't have a defined shape but does have mass. Solids have mass and a defined shape. Gasses have no shape nor mass.

Wind blown sand can form dunes. You might also say it forms a sandstorm.
Is salt and sand a liquid?
Because it is made up of small, solid particles.
Effects in boiling point when sand is added to an organic liquid?
Sand is pretty inert, so it should have very little effect. However, if some of the sand does dissolve in the liquid, it would raise the boiling point of the liquid.
Is sand a soild or a liquid?
Soled
