The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of "thickness". For example, honey has a much higher viscosity than water.

resistance to flow is called viscosity like friction in solid similarly viscosity in fluids eg liqiud and gas
