Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a (A continuous amorphous substance that tends to flow and to conform to the outline of its container: a liquid or a gas) fluid to deformation under (additional info and facts about shear stress) shear stress.
Viscosity describes a (A continuous amorphous substance that tends to flow and to conform to the outline of its container: a liquid or a gas) fluid's internal resistance to flow and may be thought of as a measure of fluid (The resistance encountered when one body is moved in contact with another) friction.
The reciprocal of viscosity is fluidity, usually symbolised by φ (=1/μ), measured in reciprocal poise ((A radioactive transuranic metallic element; produced by bombarding plutonium with helium nuclei) cmยท (The 19th letter of the Roman alphabet) s/ (The 7th letter of the Roman alphabet) g), sometimes called the rhe.

Liquids with higher kinematic viscosity have higher turbulence than those with low kinematic viscosity.
It is found by dividing the dynamic viscosity in poise by the density of the liquid.

This was measured in 1935, and the rate of rebound yields a viscosity for Earth's mantle 10 to the 23rd, yes 23 zeroes worth, larger than the viscosity of liquid water...
Right at the surface, molecular viscosity forces a "no slip" boundary condition and the wind reduces to zero, such that even a weak breeze results in a strong vertical wind shear that can become turbulent near the surface.
The low viscosity of the asthenosphere is used to explain the mechanical decoupling of the plates.
