What regulates, or gives a substance the viscosity it has?

Answer Posted / shrinivas prasad bulusuwar

viscosity is basically the resistance to flow, caused by
friction between two adjacent layers of the fluid.
The bottommost layer offers resistance to the adjacent
layer causing decrease in the velocity of the adjacent
layer.
Also, viscosity is caused due to the inter-molecular forces
of attraction.
