Difference Between Fluid and Liquid

It is also worth mentioning that liquids are fluids but not all fluids are liquids. It is mainly because fluids also comprise substances in a gaseous phase. To give you an example, Nitrogen gas is a fluid, whereas a mango juice is both a fluid and a liquid.

However, the difference between fluid and liquid boils down to a few things as mentioned below: 

Fluid:

  • Fluid is a common state of certain substances, or a type of matter.
  • Fluids flow and has some viscosity (thickness).
  • Fluids come along for liquids.
  • A fluid is a substance that lacks rigidity it cannot resist force when it is applied to it.

Liquid:

  • Liquid is one of the three phases or state of matter.
  • Liquids also flows and it has volume, but no definite shape.
  • All liquids are fluid.
  • Liquids can assume the shape of any container or vessel, and they are relatively incompressible.
