Best Answer

By the amount and size of grit on the paper. The smaller the number, the less the grit of larger size. the bigger the number, the more the grit of smaller size. 60 grit would be for removing a lot of material, 320 grit would be for finer sanding.

Does clay have more friction than sandpaper?

Yes, clay does have more friction than sandpaper. This is because, clay is a much heavier object/material then sandpaper, therefore if you were to drag a lump of clay on the floor and measured the friction, it would be higher then the amount of friction caused by sandpaper. If the amount of force needed to pull the clay is larger then the amount of force needed to pull the sandpaper, that means that there is a much larger amount of friction present, because the more friction there is present, the harder you would need to pull. Hope this helps.
