What is a meniscus why it necessary to know about it when measuring liquids?

The meniscus is the concave line of liquid that forms in a graduated cylinder (measuring volume) due to that liquid's adhesion (the tendency to want to stick to other things). When measuring a liquid's volume in a graduated cylinder, you read the volume from the bottom of the meniscus. Therefore, the meniscus does not measure anything, it is where you measure a liquid's volume from.

Is a meniscus the scale on a Triple beam balance?
If it is, I'll be damned.a meniscus, as far as I know, is the maximum curve of a liquid in a measuring cylinder. you read the volume from there.
What is meniscus in math?
I am not quite sure what the meniscus is in math, but I do know what it is defined as when related to science. The meniscus when talking about science is the curve in a flask or other measuremnt jar in the metric system of the liquid. (the curve of the liquid wether it be up or down is the meniscus, although it is more commonly seen going in a downwards direction)
How many pounds in 1L?
Pounds measure weight, and liters measure volume, so they do not have a fixed ratio. You need to know what liquid you are measuring, as different liquids have different weights and densities.
Why was measuring used?
