Give reason why we can easily move our hands in air but not through liquid or solid?

There is a lot of space between particles of gas(air) due to very weak intermolecular forces. Therefore, we can easily move our hands in air.But the space between liquid particles is less comparatively; therefore, it is difficult to move hands in liquids.The  particles in solids are tightly packed, so we cannot move our hand in solids.

This is because air has large empty spaces between them. liquid has much less empty space between them so it is difficult to move througt it . while solids have no empty space between them and are bonded so thghtly that moving hand is not possible..
