Viscosity is the resist to flow. Thats why, Mercury has more viscous than the water. So, viscosity of water is less than that of mercury.

Viscosity of mercury is lesser than of water, because shear stress developed in water is more than mercury, this is taken from the relation viscosity is directly proportional to the shear stress and inversely proportional to velocity gradient.
