-A '''solid''' is one of the main [[states of matter]]. Solids are made up of [[atoms]] or [[molecules]] that only move within a very small range in relation to one another.
+'''Solid''' may refer to:
+*The state of matter, [[solid (state of matter)]].
+*The geometrical concept [[solid (geometry)]].

-Some solids can vapourize directly into a [[gas]]. This is called [[sublimation]]. Examples of this are [[dry ice]] becoming [[carbon dioxide]] [[gas]], and [[ice]] disappearing without [[melting]].

-Some of the properties of a solid are [[bulk modulus]],which is a measure of how a solid responds to [[deformation]], [[hardness]], which is a measure of how a solid resists [[abrasion]], and [[melting point]], which is the [[temparature]] at which a solid becomes a [[liquid]].

-Solids at their respective [[melting point]] change to [[liquid]]s.

-A [[crystaline]] solid has [[atoms]] or [[molecules]] aranged in a regular repeated pattern and may abruptly change [[phase]] as the temperature changes.
-An [[amorphous solid]] is an apparently solid substance that does not abruptly change its [[phase]] as its [[temperature]] changes. The [[atoms]] or [[molecules]] in it are aranged randomly.
-==Solid measures==
-Quantities of liquids are measured in units of [[volume]], such as the [[cubic metre]] (m³), and [[mass]], such as the [[kilogram]] (kg).
