Viscosity is the measure of a liquid's resistance from flowing because of friction. As the temperature increases, the viscosity decreases. On the other hand, as temperature rises viscosity in gases increase. The lower the viscosity, the easier the fluid flows and vice versa. A way you can test viscosity of a fluid is using the Ramp Method. To carry out this experiment, you pour a fluid down a ramp and time it's speed.
