Wikipedia
wetness
Wetting is the ability of a liquid to maintain contact with a solid surface, resulting from intermolecular interactions when the two are brought together. This happens in presence of a gaseous phase or another liquid phase not miscible with the first one. The degree of wetting (wettability) is determined by a force balance between adhesive and cohesive forces. Wetting is important in the bonding or adherence of two materials. Wetting and the surface forces that control wetting are also responsible for other related effects, including capillary effects. There are two types of wetting: non-reactive wetting and reactive wetting.Wetting deals with three phases of matter: gas, liquid, and solid. It is now a center of attention in nanotechnology and nanoscience studies due to the advent of many nanomaterials in the past two decades (e.g. graphene, carbon nanotube, boron nitride nanomesh).

wetness
Wetness is the condition or state of being saturated with a liquid, typically water. This state might involve having a liquid on the surface or being soaked or damp. It could also refer to the characteristic of a material or substance of being moist or the perceived sensation of moisture on a surface. Furthermore, wetness can describe weather conditions marked by rainfall or other types of precipitation.
