  1. Smoothness is a texture without roughness; smooth to the touch; "It assumes that physical properties in a neighborhood of space or in an interval of time present some coherence and generally do not change abruptly. For example, the surface of a table is flat, a meadow presents a texture of grass, and a temporal event does not change abruptly over a short period of time.
