Is water wet?

We have dry ice, but that ain't water {CO2).

Water comes in many shapes:

Rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, ice, hail, vapors, clouds, rainbow.

If air contains less water, it would be drier.

What is wetter ocean water or fresh water?

Obi-Wan Kenobi · **Posted:** Mon Apr 09, 2012 8:47 pm

Fresh water, because the salt in ocean water makes it less water and more something else.

But, the salt is very wet.

It depends on how pure water is:

Quote:

Electrical conductivity of water samples is used as an indicator of how salt-free, ion-free, or impurity-free the sample is; the purer the water, the lower the conductivity (the higher the resistivity).

No, I think it's actually dihydrogen monoxide. You know the dangers of that stuff, I take it . . .

Sorry . . . couldn't resist.

That stuff can kill you, in more ways than one.

Yes, quite dangerous... it can even deface the Earth!

Is water wet? Toss a bucket full over the head of your spouse and ask 'em... I think you'll have your answer (and maybe a visit to the Emergency Room).
