Answer:

Soil texture is determined by the size and proportion of the particles that make up the soil. Every soil can be separated into three fractions – sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest and make the soil feel gritty. Silt particles are medium sized and give a smooth, floury feeling to the soil.

Uh, I hope it helps you understand? :T
