Water isn't wet. Wetness is a description of our experience of water; what happens to us when we come into contact with water in such a way that it impinges on our state of being. We, or our possessions, 'get wet'.
hope it will help you my dear friend plz mark it as brainliest I need it plz.
water is wet,in the sense of being a liquid which flows easily,bcoz it's viscosity is low,which is bcoz it's molecules are rather loosely joined together. the sensation of wetness is largely due to the cooling caused by evaporation, and water has a rather high latent heat of vaporisation, which is the amount of heat it removes from its surroundings in order to convert liquid water into water vapour.
Water is wet because we perceive it to be, it cannot be just due to learning and experience or else it would be different for everyone. When two sensations are combined, that of light touch and coolness, we perceive wet. This has been studied since the 1800's and this illusion (thurnbergs illusion)of wetness has been replicated with cold metal disks. When you place a cool metal disk on somones forehead they often perceieve it as water, perhaps even expecting it to drip. This is the perception of wetness according to humans.
hope it's help!!
