why water is always wet?

Water is not wet, it makes things wet!

the water, earth and moon are always moving......why is some water clear and some murky?  there are so many factors, bacteria in water don't live in warm water, so in tropical places the water is clear, on the other hand, places like east or west coast usa are colder so the water has a higher degree of pollution or looks more "murky"

That is a great question. Myth busters addressed that question and originally answered that if you walk in the rain you will actually get less wet than if you run. This of course is different if you walk really slow or really fast. However, myth busters realized that their study was in fact inaccurate and flawed and now say that if you run you will get less wet than if you walk.

It does, tho not necessarily rain that's made of water. It could be acid rain or something like that.

True. water is essential for the transport of nutrients within them, since it is the "universal solvent".

the snail's body needs to be moist all the time. the water not only protects the snail it also helps lubricate it. the salt absorbs the water from the snail's body.

It is because the water is always flowing and changing the river.  The water brings new things from up stream and washes current things down stream.  You can never count on a river to be the same as it was the last time you stepped in it.

Because water is polar and like dissolves like.

because of osmosis.  If you have a semi-permeable membrane separating a low level of salt solution and a high level of salt solution water will always travel toward the side with a higher concentration until it reaches equilibrium (the concentration is the same on both sides).  this is the case with bacteria or any other cell.  the cell membrane is semi-permeable.  If the bacteria lands on something that is very salty or very sugary the water will move from the inside of the cell to the outside of the cell to try to reach equilibrium.  The cell will shrivel and die because the water will be leaving it.  There are very few bacteria that can withstand this.  (of course there are some that can, there is ALWAYS an exception in biology)

Water is just a liquid gas isn't it? Hydrogen and Oxygen mixed makes water. That's how.

Becaue water is polar and water molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other.

You get wet about the same amount.\nMythbusters did a segment on this question a few months ago, try checking their website

our body is composed of 90% water

Because of osmotic pressure.\n\nThe water in the fish's body is full of impurities.  You know, fish parts.  Osmosis causes water to flow automatically to less "pure" concentrations.  So, a freshwater fish has no need to drink, the water is simply pumping into it's cells.  In fact, it has to work extra hard to get waste water out of it's system so it doesn't swell up and explode!\n\nSaltwater fish have the opposite problem.  The salt in the water turns the osmotic pressure around and the oceans are constantly pumping water out of saltwater fish.  They have to drink to make up for it.

the water cycle is what it says it is,the cycle water goes through.there has always been the same amount of water in the earth at all times.basically it is recycled.water from bodies of water is evaporated and rises into the atmosphere.it isnt all H2O.it contains all of the impurities and other elements also.the partcles form clouds and when they get heavy enuogh it rains.but it isnt just rain from the beginning.as it falls ,it starts out as frozen water(snow)and as it falls toward the earth,it melts into raindrops.i hope this helps.

Water is a liquid at STP, because it has much stronger intermolectular (between molecules) forces than H2 or O2.\nH2 and O2 have only Van Der Waal's or London Forces, whichever you would like to call them, which are kind of like mini attractions, that are very weak. Water's structure involves highly electronegative oxygen, which draws the electrons from H stronger than H pulls back. Thus, Oxygen is a little bit negative, and H is a little bit positive. This is called a molecular dipole if the molecule is not symmetrical (as water is not).\nBecause of this dipole on water, the slightly positive ends attract to other molecules' slightly negative ends, and thus, the molecules have stronger attractions to each other, and remain a liquid, when other substances, turn to gas.
