Answer:

Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow (thickness or thinness of a fluid). Fluids with high viscosity do not flow as easy as fluids with a low viscosity. Temperature affects viscosity, the warmer the liquid, the faster the particles flow and the colder it is the slower it flows. For gases when temperature increases, less friction occurs so it the flow rate is higher and when its col the opposite thing happens

Answer:

Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid (liquid or gas) to a change in shape or movement of neighbouring portions relative to one another. Viscosity denotes opposition to flow.
