why is water wet?

Answer 1

Because it is a liquid.

Answer 2

A wise man once preached the following:

Water is not really wet. Not wet in and of itself, anyway. As you know, water is defined by the chemical equation H20 for it is two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom bound in a molecule. Take a few of these molecules of water together and you would not experience them as wet. Even a few hundred molecules would not do the trick. Water is nothing but H20 and those molecules are not inherently “wet.”

However, when billions of these bundles of Hydrogen and Oxygen get together, the molecules interact to create tension on the surface which we experience as wetness.[1] Billions of molecules are no problem. Don’t picture an ocean. A single drop of water contains about 10 to the 21st power (1021) molecules of H20. That’s a sextillion, as in million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion. Water is nothing but H20 and the sensation of wetness is nothing but a physical sensation of surface tension created by the interaction of the molecules.

Answer 3

How do you know it is wet? We have been told all of our lives that water is wet, is it really? I just wonder, but if I was to say water is wet it is because of the humidity in the earth's atmosphere.
