What is capillarity?

Capillary rise or capillarity is a phenomenon in which liquid spontaneously rises or falls in a narrow space such as a thin tube or in the voids of a porous material. Surface tension is an important factor in the phenomenon of capillarity. The surface adhesion forces or internal cohesion present at the interface between a liquid and a solid stretch the liquid and form a curved surface called a meniscus. The characteristic height is the distance from the bottom of the meniscus to the base and exists when the Laplace pressure and the pressure due to gravity are balanced.
