eli5 – How can the human body be composed of 70% water when it feels and behaves like any other solid?
In: 18
Is a grape a solid? Is it *more* or *less* solid than a raisin?
A raisin is 15% or less water, and a grape is about 75% water. The difference in size is purely based on the removed water.
People, like grapes, can have physical structures that store a lot of water while having a relatively solid outer surface.
