A significant part of aeronautical science is a branch of dynamics called aerodynamics, which deals with the motion of air and the way that it interacts with objects in motion, such as an aircraft.
When you pour a liquid from one container to another, the liquid takes the shape of the container. The volume of the liquid is the same. The properties that solids and liquids share are that they both have definite volume.
Properties of Solids As you should remember from the kinetic molecular theory, the molecules in solids are not moving in the same manner as those in liquids or gases. Solid molecules simply vibrate and rotate in place rather than move about. Solids are generally held together by ionic or strong covalent bonding, and the attractive forces between the atoms, ions, or molecules in solids are very strong.
