What is Meniscus (liquid)?
[[File:Reading_the_meniscus.svg|thumb|right|'''A:''' The bottom of a concave meniscus. '''B:''' The top of a convex meniscus.]] A concave meniscus happens when the [[Particle|particles]] of the [[liquid]] are more strongly attracted to the [[container]] ([[adhesion]]) than to each other ([[Cohesion (chemistry)|cohesion]]). This causes the liquid to climb the sides of the container. This happens between [[water]] and [[glass]]. Water-based [[Fluid|fluids]] like [[sap]], [[honey]], and [[milk]] also have a concave meniscus in glass or other [[Wetting|wettable]] containers. {{Physics-stub}} [[Category:Fluid mechanics]]
