Which component is not part of the airbrush handle?

1. Needle

2. Compressor

3. Trigger

4. Body

The correct answer is: Compressor

The compressor is not part of the airbrush handle itself. The airbrush handle primarily consists of components that are directly involved in the application process of the paint or medium. The needle is responsible for controlling the flow of the fluid, the trigger is what the user pulls to operate the airbrush and adjust the amount of fluid being dispensed, and the body of the airbrush houses these components. In contrast, the compressor serves as the source of air pressure needed for the airbrush to function, but it is a separate piece of equipment that provides the necessary airflow. Understanding the distinction between the airbrush handle components and those of the compressor is crucial for maintaining and using airbrush equipment effectively in nail art and other applications.
