Water wets,
Doesn’t necessarily mean its wet itself
The sun migth be hot for your standards doesn’t mean its hot by itself, its just burning. 

Actually water is one thing science cant fully explain..

I'd argue that this isn't really a philosophical issue but just a linguistic one.  The answer is simply "it depends on how you define wet."

💧 Is water actually wet? Scientists aren't sure

The answer to this question requires some philosophical thinking and depends on how you define wetness. The debate over whether water is wet is likely to continue for as long as the planet is awash with the stuff.

Most scientists define wetness as a liquid’s ability to maintain contact with a solid surface, meaning that water itself is not wet, but can make other sensation.

But if you define wet as ‘made of liquid or moisture’, as some do, then water and all other liquids can be considered wet. Some people describe wetness as a physical, cooling sensation experienced when water takes in energy to evaporate into surrounding air.
