पानी गीला क्यों होता है

 Whether water is wet depends on how you define wetness: 

 

Wetness as a liquid's ability to maintain contact with a solid surface: In this case, water isn't wet, but it can make other things wet. 

 

Wetness as being made of liquid or moisture: In this case, water and all other liquids can be considered wet. 

 

Wetness as a description of our experience of water: In this case, water isn't wet, but it can make us feel wet when it comes into contact with us. 

 

Wetness as something that can dry: In this case, water isn't wet because it can't dry. 

 

Water can also be wet in other ways: 

 

Water's viscosity

Water is wet because it's a liquid that flows easily due to its low viscosity. This is because its molecules are loosely joined together. 

 

Water's latent heat of vaporization

Water's latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat it removes from its surroundings to convert from liquid water to water vapor. This cooling causes a sensation of wetness. 

 

Water's hydrogen bonds

Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms. When water molecules come into contact with a surface, these forces create the condition of wetness.
