Sand does not have a definite shape because it can easily shift and take on different forms depending on its surroundings and external forces like wind or water. It is a granular material composed of very small rock and mineral particles, making it highly malleable and adaptable to its environment.

When sand is placed in a container why doesn't it take on the shape of the container?
Sand particles do not stick together or mold to the shape of the container like a liquid would due to their irregular shapes. The particles instead stack on top of each other, forming a pile with a rough surface. This allows the sand to retain its granular structure rather than conforming to the container's shape.
