What does [fine] mean in this sentence?
I was reading a medicine book at the library of my medicine university, and I saw the following sentence:

"If you find a web of a house spider, look at it carefully to see how it is made. The webs are so fine that it is hard to find them before they are covered with dust."

Can someone please tell me what "fine" means here?

Answer

New Oxford American Dictionary

fine1 | faɪn |
adjective
(of a thread, filament, or person's hair) thin: 
I have always had fine and dry hair.

Answer

As Chris said , it means thin.

We can also use it for pencils.

An expression you could use - There's a fine line between (choose two opposites e,g, success and failure) meaning a result can so easily go the other way.
