IS WATER WET????

[Willow]

I’m seeing this all over my friends social media. And I’m so confused . Why wouldn’t it be wet?

[Sir Devil]

It seems to be a phrase used to show the obviousness of someone else's statement...

@willoww "Have you been swimming? How's the water?
Wet."

It isn't when it's frozen. Antarctica is the driest continent on earth.:)

So you are tellin me you freeze water so you can add water to your water?

[[[global:former-user]]]

first what wet means to you ? then if wet is state of particles that arent forming crystalic form and are able to squze between gaps then water would deffinetly be wet

[Ephemeral]

@willoww Wet describes a solid object submerged or coated in water (or another liquid). Since water isn't solid, the property of being "wet" doesn't apply. Hence water isn't wet. (Wet is a property of solids)

Ice on the otherhand can be wet, since it's a solid that can be coated with liquid water.

@willoww Answer:
IT CAN BE. Water in liquid or gaz form is not wet but water in solid form can be wet if it has some water of liquid form covering it
