Answer:
Compressibility is the measure of how much a given volume of matter decreases when placed under pressure. If we put pressure on a solid or a liquid, there is essentially no change in volume. The atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid or liquid are very close together.

Answer:
In thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, compressibility (also known as the coefficient of compressibility or isothermal compressibility) is a measure of the relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure (or mean stress) change.
Compressibility is the property of being reduced to a smaller space by pressure. This property is a consequence of porosity, and the change of bulk comes from the particles being brought closer together by the pressure.
