I have been trying to find the polarity of Silica gel on a TLC plate..

It has been mentioned that, silica gel is more polar in nature. But, is there a quantitative value for how polar is the silica gel ? 

for e.g: Is silica gel more polar than methanol or less polar than methanol ? any other reference to quantify the polarity of the silica gel ?

Thanks in Advance
