air is composed of oxygen, nitrogen other gases and a small percentage of water.if this was cooled down sufficiently then it could turn to liquid.but as you see it(or see through it..) it is not a liquid.ask your teacher to explain it cos id like to hear that myself.

Air is a mixture of gaseous particles that came from a liquid state. This is probably what your teacher and the book is referring to.

Kevin B has it right. Fluid doesn't necessarily mean a liquid. Liquids are fluids as are gases. They conform to the shape you put them in, and they flow. They both flow through a pipe.

not otherwise we would be wet all the time. it is a gas (1 of the 3 states) the scientific word for air is oxygen.

Air is a gas. However; it is considered a FLUID. Because it does flow (think wind).

air can be made liquid. under pressure and at low temp, all gases can be liquified

Hi. It can be if the temperature is within a certain range. Can also be a solid.
