why is water wet?

Answer 1

so it quenches your thirst

Answer 2

It's not that water is wet, it's that it is a liquid. Water, or H2O, has a molecular layout that causes it to be liquid at room temperature. When you boil it, you are exciting the molecules to make it a gas (the steam), and when you freeze it you are un-exciting the molecules to make it a solid (ice). At room temperature it's in between. Hope this helped!

Answer 3

As I recall it is due to its ability to pass through very tiny holes so it gets through all sorts of barriers plus it's surface tension which enables it to cling onto surfaces and its slow evaporation rate. No doubt some scientific type can give us the technical jargon but that is a launderers explaination

Answer 4

the molecules in water are lateral moving ones, this creates a fluidity and so the end result is wet water... however, it can be a wet gas, or a hard solid ice cube.

Answer 5

Water is wet? Who told you these lies?

Answer 6
