Technically, No.
Water in a glass (or other vessel) has a curved surface known as a meniscus.
A large body of water (like an ocean) actually follows the curve of the earth. So the surface of the water is a curve or section of a sphere.

Explain why the surface of water in a container is not flat but curved?
Surface tension.
What is the maximum depth a water spill will be on a flat surface?
Any, depending on the volume of water spilt and the area of the flat surface. The specific height is also constrained by the surface tension of the water, the atmospheric pressure above it, and the gravity below it.
How many flat surface does a cone have in 3Dshapes?
Its base is a flat surface
What is the term for a mirrow with a flat surface?
A mirror with a flat surface - planar
What is flat surface called?
A flat surface generally refers to a horizontal surface and is referred to as the plane.
Explain why the surface of water in a container is not flat but curved?
Surface tension.
Why does the water evaporate quick on a flat surface?
Water evaporates quickly on a flat surface because a larger surface area is exposed to the surrounding air, allowing more water molecules to escape into the atmosphere. Additionally, on a flat surface, there is no pooling of water, so the water molecules are free to escape into the air more easily.

What is a wet surface lavatory?
The first picture in the link below shows a wet surface lavatory: http://www.gamegirladvance.com/zine/200307play/purist_water_play.html Instead of water falling into a bowl, it flows onto a flat surface from an angle (to prevent 'flat surface' splashing) then drains to what might be described as a 'moat' that surrounds the flat surface where the water then collects to a drain.
Can you give CPR in the water?
No, you can't give CPR in the water. You must be on a hard flat surface.
Is the sphere has a flat surface?
It does not have a flat surface.
In organic chemistry explain why water evaporates faster at a wider and flat surface?
A greater surface area from which evaporation can occur.
What is a flat surface that goes on and on in all directions called?
The flat surface that goes on and on in all directions has no boundaries. This flat surface is called infinite surface. Accordingly, the answer is that the flat surface that goes on and on in all directions is called an infinite surface.
A flat surface that has no thickness?
A plane is a flat surface with no thickness
A flat level surface?
A flat, level surface is a plane.
Why did water take on a dome shape not a flat one when on the wax paper?
Water formed a dome shape on the wax paper due to surface tension. Surface tension is caused by the water molecules sticking together, creating a kind of "skin" on the surface, which is why the water doesn't spread out flat. The dome shape is a result of the water molecules pulling inward evenly to minimize surface area.
Which would evaporate quickest water in a flat tray or in open bottle?
Water in a flat tray would evaporate quickest because it has a greater surface area exposed to the air compared to water in an open bottle. This increased surface area allows for more water molecules to escape into the air, resulting in faster evaporation.
